Abstract
In this paper, I would like to present a comparative study of two refugee groups in India - i.e. Afghans and Rohingyas. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, I would like to showcase the different strategies adapted for different groups and how social and religious networks play a significant role for their adaptation and survival in India.
