The Afghan refugees have migrated to Pakistan in great number due to socio-cultural affiliation with the people of Pakistan. Moreover, the presence of Afghan refugees in Pakistan has been perceived as a security and economic threat for Pakistan, however, Pakistan has been extremely generous to greet them warmly. The paper is qualitative in nature, which has been based on historical perspective of the study in order to find out the impact of the Afghan refugees on Pakistan. Most importantly, the paper aims to address the question, how Pakistan could afford to allow a large number of Afghan refugees in Pakistan for a longer period of time. In addition to this, the paper also aims to investigate the measures of Pakistan for repatriating Afghan refugees first. Key words: Afghan Refugees, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Taliban and Implication
