The Punjab Borderland offers a fascinating insight into how the new
international boundary between India and Pakistan was made,
subverted, and transformed. Dispelling the established
historiographical narratives of an increasingly militarised border
that presents as the epitome of animosity and a classic example of
inter-state tension, this book offers a corrective to these
accounts by bringing out narratives of border crossings and social
relations built on mutual benefit and trust. It conceptualises the
making of the vast contraband as an analytical tool, not merely as
borderland societies' modes for evading the state imposition of a
partitioned geography on their local lifeworld, but as a catalyst
for enabling social mobility and political empowerment for the
population involved and a thriving market for consumption in the
urban centres. It reveals a 'bottom-up' history of the Punjab
border and the invention of the borderland society, narrating a
story with local meanings and transnational dimensions.
