This book critically analyzes the Partition experiences from East
Bengal in 1947 and its prolonged aftermath leading to the creation
of Bangladesh in 1971. It looks at how newly emerged borderlands at
the time of Partition affected lives and triggered prolonged
consequences for the people living in East Bengal/Bangladesh. The
author brings to the fore unheard voices and unexplored narratives,
especially those relating the experience of different groups of
Muslims in the midst of the falling apart of the unified Muslim
identity. Drawing on in-depth ethnographic research and archival
resources, the volume analyzes various themes such as partition
literature, local narratives of border-making, smuggling, border
violence, refugees, identity conflicts, border crossing, and
experiences of the Bihari Muslims and the Hindus of East Pakistan,
among others. A unique study in border-making, this book will be an
essential read for scholars and researchers of history, South Asian
history, Partition studies, oral history, anthropology, political
history, refugee studies, minority studies, political science, and
borderland studies.
