An Immigrant is an individual who leaves one’s country to settle in another, whereas refugees are defined as persons, who move out of one’s country due to restriction or danger to their lives.

So as poster said, “Who’s tryna immigrate to india?” is valid.

In 2021 and 2022 alone, thousands of Rohingya refugees were either jailed and deported by Indian authorities, had to flee the country, or had to go underground so as to remain untraceable within India.

Indian refugee claims in Canada began rising after Prime Minister Modi took power, data shows Experts say trend indicates ‘Canada is recognizing of human rights abuses’

  Not sure why you felt the need to define both terms, but since you bring it up, note that refugees are a subset of immigrants.
  
  But none of what you’ve said addresses the point I was making; the fact that Modi is deporting refugees (who are, by definition, a form of immigrant) doesn’t mean that nobody wants to migrate to India.
