Mehedi Remittance is the second largest earning source for Bangladesh economy after RMG export. In 2015.according to Bangladesh Bank the net worth of remittance inflow was 15,270.99 million USD and later years it started to fall down until 2018 record level of remittance inflow worth of 15,544.68 million USD. Whatever the reasons may stand behind this ups and downs in remittance inflow, but this is also caused by increasing rate of home returned migrants. No one can deny, the contributions of these home returned migrants, but unfortunately, the reintegration scenario of these home returned migrants never got enough concern to anyone. this article shades light on this reintegration scenario of home returned migrants in cumilla district, one of the top concentrated migrant areas in Bangladesh. This article focuses on the demographic information, abroad working period, earned skills in abroad, causes of home returning, present works of home returned migrants, present savings, present working problems, entrepreneurial trend and experience of migrations of home returned migrants of cumilla district. The findings of this paper can help the government to implement policies and roles towards mixed cultural worked experienced home returned migrants and their reintegration process in a planned manner. 2020-12-01T00:00:00Z http://ar.cou.ac.bd:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/118 ‘Migrant’ or ‘Refugee’? Rahman, Md. Mizanur This article put forward a single argument, which is, the distinction between ‘migrant’ and ‘refugee’ is a very straightforward one and fail to count the complexity around the migration process. Combined with the pieces of literature and the life history of my brother, I question the rigid differentiation between ‘migrant’ and ‘refugee’ as these categorical definitions play a crucial role to include or exclude people from the rights and protection provided by the states. My main purpose in this article is to illustrate the fact that ‘migrants’ can also go through the experiences similar to the refugees depending on the contexts and the situation S/he exposed, and ‘refugee’ is not also a fixed category as it can change for the people in certain situation. To explain this position I provided the case of my younger brother who went through both experiences of being a ‘migrant’ and being a ‘refugee’. In the end, I argue for extensive ethnographic and empirical research engagement to reveal how these categorical definitions exclude people who do not fall under the existing legal framework for ‘refugee’ from the rights and protections offered by the states, hence failed to consider the complex process of migration and other issues, such as the serious right violation in the origin country. 2020-12-01T00:00:00Z
