Migration primarily can be selective process in which people leave place of original settlement on their own due to some motivation and try to settle down at some other place. This is called free migration. Then there is forced migration in which the people are forced to leave their place of origin due to compelling circumstances it becomes difficult for them to tolerate changed political conditions created by a group of persons beyond the control of the authority or government governing the land and create environment of terrorism due to which they are forced to migrate to a safer place. (Peterson et. al., 1988) forced migration is a type of migration in which people are left with no decision of their own, rights which are due are denied. In this type of situation people try to cope with this stress and the people who are not able to cope exhibit a variety of deviations in their behavior. In Jammu and Kashmir (India), a particular community Kashmiri pandit was forced by terrorist outfits to quit their land. After migration these people faced a number of problems and try to cope with them but the people who were not able to cope exhibit a variety of deviations in their behavior. Forced migration lead to huge stresses and mental, emotional and physical health difficulties. Migration is not only a geographical transition, it is also a psycho-social transition and can result in a "cultural bereavement", grief not only for the country left behind, but also for the culture or subculture into which one is born | | Keywords : | | |
