Title Proper | Indo-Bangladesh borderland issues in Meghalaya |
Language | ENG |
Author | Majaw, Baniateilang |
Summary / Abstract (Note) | Based on direct observation and primary local perspectives, this article examines experiences of cross-border movements in the borderland between Meghalaya and Bangladesh. It shows that the Indo-Bangladesh border is indeed an international border, but remains extremely porous for local people, with wide-ranging implications that raise theoretical issues about notions of ‘border’, but also prompt serious questions about local development, safety, security and citizenship in these peripheral borderlands. |
