Battle of identities at the India-Bangladesh border

The steady influx of Bangladeshi migrants in India’s north-eastern state of Assam led to major ethnic backlash in the late 1970s. In reaction, the Indian government decided to fence its border with Bangladesh, which, ever since, has become the site of national identity politics and contestation over irregular migrants.

Abstract

The steady influx of Bangladeshi migrants in India’s north-eastern state of Assam led to major ethnic backlash in the late 1970s. In reaction, the Indian government decided to fence its border with Bangladesh, which, ever since, has become the site of national identity politics and contestation over irregular migrants.
