Question:

Read the passage and answer the question:

The world refugee map tallies almost perfectly with the world conflicts map because wars and armed conflicts in the South have generated millions of refugees seeking safe haven. From 1990 to 1995, 70 states were involved in 93 wars which killed about 55 lakh people. As a result, individuals, families, and, at times, whole communities have been forced to migrate because of generalized fear of violence or due to the destruction of livelihoods, identities, and living environments.

Who among the following is an example of internally displaced people?

Options:

Non Resident Indians

Hindus who migrated from Pakistan during Partition.

Kashmiri Pandits

Sikhs who migrated from Pakistan during Partition.

Correct Answer:

Kashmiri Pandits
