| Summary/Abstract |
In this article, I examine the 1971 war (better known as the war for the liberation of Bangladesh) from a western Indian perspective. I argue that this war between India and Pakistan—while it focused overtly on the independence of East Pakistan—had some significant consequences for the western border between Kutch (in Gujarat state) and Sindh (in Pakistan). I suggest that this military conflict and the subsequent brief Indian occupation of Tharparkar in Sindh allows for a significant re-thinking of questions of citizenship, identity and belonging that were sparked off in 1947 and that have been re-ignited in the context of recent debates over the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), enacted in December 2019.

| Summary/Abstract |
Ethnographic research conducted among the semi-nomadic Muslim Jatts, who inhabit the interstices of the contemporary State both discursively as well as physically, helps us to critically interrogate the formulation of region as articulated both by the modern nation-state as well as contemporary religious ideology. In the official discourse of Gujarat State, the Jatts are represented as threats to the territorial integrity of the nation-state in general and to Gujarat in particular, their cross-border movements into Pakistan designed to destabilise the region. An ethnographic analysis of the state shows how state ideologies are produced discursively over time. This paper argues that travel and trade links in this region have produced historically-blurred boundaries between region, religion and now nation. These histories productively re-configure the current geopolitical iteration of space and belonging in contemporary Gujarat as enunciated by the state.

| Summary/Abstract |
An ethnographic illustration of post-disaster resettlement among Muslims in western Gujarat suggests that ‘moving on’ from the loss of home is a social rather than a state-directed process and that social intimacy is not necessarily produced in enclaves of religious sameness. Wedding videos filmed on the street in pre-earthquake times are not just representations of a past, but also affective and material modes of producing a community in resettlement. While resettlement has apparently led to ghettoisation and peripheralisation of the city's Muslims regardless of class, the paper argues that wedding videos are a mode of transcending such spatialisation and constitute visual and affective claims to the city in the context of post-disaster reorganisation of urban space.
