The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

The proposed journal concentrates on the contemporary refugee crisis existing in the Global South, including refugee management in the host countries, their relationship with the host communities, and complexities in the repatriation process. Our article is focusing on the issue of repatriation of the Rohingya community living in Bangladeshi camps, especially those who fled in 2017 after the brutal crackdown committed by the Myanmar government. We have presented a comparative analysis with the Biharis and other displaced communities living in Bangladesh since its independence in 1971 and thus tried to see the possibility of the Rohingya repatriation in the present context. Our article is based on one of the themes of the journal, which is the repatriation process, so we strongly believe it matches with the scope of the journal and specialty.
