In the wake of the legalization of the Citizenship Amendment Act in 2019, this region remains a hot bed of identity and refugee politics. Drawing on extensive research and in-depth fieldwork, this book discusses themes of displacement, rehabilitation, discrimination, and politicization 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, refugee studies, and general readers of modern Indian history"-- 0aRefugeeszIndia, NortheasternxSocial conditions. 0aInternally displaced personszIndia, NortheasternxSocial conditions. 0aRefugeesxGovernment policyzIndia. 0aInternally displaced personsxGovernment policyzIndia. 0aMigration, InternalzIndia, Northeastern. 0aIndiaxHistoryyPartition, 1947xInfluence.08iOnline version:aGhoshal, Anindita,tRefugees, borders and identitiesdAbingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021.z9780429317620
