The people of Afghanistan are the victims of war and terrorism which established chaos, havoc and devastation from all corners. It has now been years that the people of Afghanistan have been fleeing to different countries to find a better life and escape from the war and its aftermaths. The last four decades of war has actually fuelled the Afghan people with fear, especially children. To immigrate and flee to neighbouring countries always become easy for them like India where there has been an upsurge in Afghan people from last few decades. In this paper I will be deliberating upon the status of the Afghan Families to identify the rights and privileges of Afghan children in India since India till date has not ratified the convention on refugees, but has allowed UNHCR to operate and how far can they enjoy the rights that refugees have ordinarily by way of international instruments. International law is supposed to provide protection to the persecuted communities as well as those whose lives are in danger and since India is lacking any such law, it raises a serious question as to how far should concerned parties take the related initiative. As looking into current situation of Afghanistan, it is obvious and clear that Afghan people are threatened to their lives to the most. They are no longer protected in their home country due to the war which UN has defined as persecution. Residing here under the supervision of UNHCR, I tend to understand how far are the rights of children of Afghanistan protected in India.
