This book examines the impact of Partition on refugees in East and
Northeast India and their struggle for identity, space and
political rights. In the wake of the legalisation of the
Citizenship Amendment Act in 2019, this region remains a hotbed of
identity and refugee politics. Drawing on extensive research and
in-depth fieldwork, this book discusses themes of displacement,
rehabilitation, discrimination and politicisation of refugees that
preceded and followed the Partition of India in 1947. It portrays
the crises experienced by refugees in recreating the socio-cultural
milieu of the lost motherland and the consequent loss of their
linguistic, cultural, economic and ethnic identities. The author
also studies how the presence of the refugees shaped the conduct of
politics in West Bengal, Assam and Tripura in the decades following
Partition. Refugees, Borders and Identities will be indispensable
for scholars and researchers of refugee studies, border studies,
South Asian history, migration studies, Partition studies,
sociology, anthropology, political studies, international relations
and refugee studies, and for general readers of modern Indian
history.
