I just read a report that 400 people from Indian origin got Green Card under asylum category. Is it true? How can someone from India get a green card under this category?

How would someone coming from India present his case to get asylum application approved? I thought it is more meant for places where there is problem for an individual to live. India is recognized as a secular democracy like UK.
Why would they give asylum in US to someone coming from UK or India? How should the case be presented?
Are there any side effects of applying in the asylum category?

It makes absolutely no sense to compare the UK to India.
Gilbert, just because a country is rich and democratic, it does not mean that a citizen of this country cannot apply for asylum in another country. Think of the Irish asylees who are technically UK citizens. They applied for asylum in thousands (especially in the last 2 decades) to escape the persecution of Britons, who are occupying their land. Sometimes, we get so blinded by the brightness of the easy life in the West to the extent that we never see the ugly side of them too.Originally posted by Gilbert
There are many pseudo-democracies on this planet. One needs only to glance at the international pages of the New York Times to appreciate the problems bedeviling India. It should come as no surprise that INDIA IS ONE THE WORLD'S TOP SOURCE COUNTRIES FOR ASYLUM APPLICANTS.
In contrast, the UK is a rich, stable and democratic place. It runs one of the world's largest asylum programs. People from every corner of the earth apply for protection in Britain.
Compare these two "secular democracies" is like comparing Bill Gates to a mom-and-pop computer store or saying that Harvard is the same as the community college down the street.

Can a Hindu from India apply for refugee status in United States? If so, how?
