Indian cases are somewhat interesting because apparently - for decades - Indian traffickers have been extremely inventive in finding routes to Germany, and many Indians who try it can raise the money to go through those inventive routes. The perhaps most interesting route popped up in 1993 when Czechoslovakia broke up; Indians at that point took flight to Ukraine, got smuggled into Slovakia, from there crossed the - in the breakup completely unchecked - border into the Czech Republic and then walked across the border to Germany. Germany curbed that entry route at the time by deploying fancy new IR-based surveillance along its Eastern border after a few weeks, directing patrols to groups so they could send them back across the border.

Their handling was decided mostly in the 80s and early 90s, when there were actual violent clashes between Sikhs and Hindus, and decisions by courts went all the way up to the Supreme Court - who decided that we'd still deport them all.
There are a few Indians in Germany - maybe 100, maybe 200 - who were actually accepted as political refugees from that kind of political frame over the years (mostly in the last two decades, up till around 1990 we took exactly zero). But for each of them of course there's a thousand who got deported.
