图书简介
This innovative study explores the interface between nation-building and refugee rehabilitation in post-Partition India. Relying on archival records and oral histories, Uditi Sen analyses official policy towards Hindu refugees from eastern Pakistan to reveal a pan-Indian governmentality of rehabilitation. This governmentality emerged in the Andaman Islands, where Bengali refugees were recast as pioneering settlers. Not all refugees, however, were willing or able to live up to this top-down vision of productive citizenship. The reminiscences of refugees reveal divergent negotiations of rehabilitation ’from below’. Educated refugees from dominant castes mobilised their social and cultural capital to build urban ’squatters’ colonies’, while poor Dalit refugees had to perform the role of agricultural pioneers to access aid. Policies of rehabilitation marginalised single and widowed women by treating them as ’permanent liabilities’. These rich case studies dramatically expand our understanding of popular politics and everyday citizenship in post-Partition India.
