Title in ENGLISH : This book, documents and analyses the efforts of the Indian State to rehabilitate the refugee migrating to India after the tragic partitioning of the subcontinent. Comparing the treatment and policies for refugees from West and East Pakistan, this book investigates the priorities of the nascent nation-state in determining its constituents. With special focus on two major refugee cities in post-Partition India--Delhi and Kolkata--this work examines how far State-defined stereotypes hold true compared to the efforts of the refugees along both borders in rebuilding their lives.
