Abstract
Framed by the discourse on statelessness and citizenship in South Asia, the publication brings out faultlines and ruptures that affect the lives of ordinary people, even as nation states redefine boundaries and identities. Exclusionary practices interfere in the shifting self-definition of states. Haque explores the situation of stranded Biharis in Bangladesh from both legal and humanitarian perspectives.
