Description: 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.
