THE PARLIAMENTS OF NEPAL AND PAKISTAN: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

Abstract

The problems concerning Muslim migrants pertaining to integration and identity preservation have grown in significance due to the global migration crisis. These individuals are faced with many barriers as they settle down in different societies characterized by alienation in the cultural aspect and socio economic hardships. The migrant experience is where faith is where culture, and it is where social belonging intersect and these intersections shape their adaptation strategies and that of host communities. This paper studies Muslim migrant's identity issues in integration processes, examining barriers to integration resulting from systemic factors including language barriers, employment discrimination, and political bias. Additionally it examines the social functions that religious and cultural institutions serve in conserving the bonds of communal and fostering communal social cohesion. The research examines the necessity of inclusive strategies to adapt and support migrant groups, yet with respect to their cultural inheritance, through the analysis of the policy frameworks and community initiated programmes. However, this is not pessimistic in any sense as they find that identity preservation does not prevent integration, but instead promotes multiculturalism and social stability. The study finally backs a policy measure which would balance the national security concerns and the human rights, which would be conducive to creating a more harmonious global society, and inclusive.
