Summary/Abstract: Pakistan is a country that got independence in the name of religion in 1947. During the partition in 1947, a huge displacement occurred between Pakistan and India (IOM World Migration Report, 2020). Due to this displacement, a large share of the foreign-born population of immigrants is residing in both countries which makes them the top five Asian countries where the migrants live. India stands on 1st number while Pakistan is on number 5th (UNDESA, 2019).
