"Dunki"- Donkey Flight

"Dunki" or the phrase "donkey flight" is a method of illegal immigration that is employed to enter nations such as the US, Canada, and the UK without authorization. Usually, to evade immigration checks, it entails a series of quick connecting flights across multiple nations. Those from Punjab, India, have become especially well-known for it.

A few important details:

Making Use of Loopholes: People use gaps in other nations' immigration processes rather than applying directly for a visa to the destination country, which could be costly or onerous. This frequently entails exploiting visas obtained for those intermediate destinations to hop from one country to another.

Consider a Donkey Jumping: Consider it similar to a donkey moving from place to place. Even if they might not have direct authority to be there, each hop brings the person closer to their ultimate destination. An expression from Punjabi that means "to hop from place to place" is the source of the name "donkey flight"(or Dunki)

Dangerous and immoral: Despite the playful nature of the name, the practice is inherently risky and immoral. People who are involved are frequently at risk of being taken advantage of by dishonest travel brokers who demand outrageous prices for phony permits or shaky travel plans. These travels can be physically and psychologically exhausting, subjecting travelers to difficult circumstances and raising their danger of deportation or even human trafficking.

Recent Attention: With the recent release of the Bollywood film "Dunki," starring Shah Rukh Khan, the term "Donkey Flight" received more widespread recognition. The film tells the stories of people who tried this dangerous immigration route.

The following are some important lessons learned:

• Donkey flights are a risky and unlawful form of immigration.
• People are put in danger when they take advantage of immigration gaps; it's crucial to be aware of the risks and look for proper immigration channels.
