Citizenship, Belonging, and the Partition of India

The authors of this volume ask how minorities have sought to belong, and trace how their sense of belonging has shifted with time. Working with ＂intercepted letters, pamphlets, and poetry＂, novels and ethnographic fieldwork, each of the articles in this book foreground the voices of the ＂refugee＂ and the ＂minority＂.
