- This 100,000 word monograph, based on 13 years’ research, uses both archival materials and methodologies from a range of disciplines. The first part draws on a Foucauldian analysis of official reports and government files to explore government policies towards refugees born of the partition of India over a 30 year period. The second part draws on a range of oral and written sources: e.g. testimonies of subaltern refugees, including widowed women and dalit peasants, memoirs, pamphlets, and other ephemeral sources held in personal archives. It uses these to analyse how ordinary refugees staked a claim to citizenship in post-colonial India.
