Organized thematically, the essays cover a range of topics including borders and boundaries, refugee-hood and displacement, majorities and minorities, citizenship, diaspora and the construction of post-colonial national identities. Each volume includes a critical introduction and provides a thematic overview identifying new developments and key debates within the field. Presenting a plurality of viewpoints, the contributors add a new perspective to the literature by integrating topics within a comparative framework encompassing India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Kashmir. This collection of essays addressing concerns rooted in the post-colonial setting adds a new dimension to the current literature and paves the way for further research into the consequences of the Indian subcontinent’s partition.
