  • Immobility in the “Age of Migration” Joya Chatterji Trinity College
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Apollo On being stuck in Bengal: immobility in the “age of migration”1 Joya Chatterji Trinity College, Cambridge Scholars have tended to ignore the phenomenon of immobility. I stumbled upon it myself only while researching its obverse, migration, and then only by accident. Some years ago, I came across a police report on a ‘fracas’ at a Muslim graveyard in Calcutta, where, soon after partition, Hindu refugees had seized the land and put a stop to burials. Out of curiosity, I tried to find the graveyard, but this proved challenging. The people of the now-affluent Hindu neighbourhood that had sprung up in the area stared blankly at me when I asked them how to get there. A few protested that no such burial ground had ever existed. Finally, I found an elderly Muslim rickshaw puller who knew where it was, and he offered to take me there. There was no pucca road leading to it, just a sodden dirt track, barely wide enough for two persons to pass. When we reached the cemetery, it was like a place time had passed by. Only a dozen or so people still remained in what had been, just a few decades before, a bustling Muslim locality. They included the mutawwali, or custodian of the shrines, and a few members of his family, who lived in the most abject poverty I had ever seen. Their crumbling huts were dark and airless. They wore rags that barely hid their skeletal bodies. The women gazed at me in silence, too listless even to brush the flies off the faces of children who neither laughed nor played.2 1 My thoughts on migration (and immobility) have been influenced by David Washbrook, and developed in the graduate seminars we ran together.

Data 15 were collected from 15 sampling stations and analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The potential 16 detrimental effects of these heavy metals were evaluated by Hakanson risk index. Hakanson risk index (RI) and 17 Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) and the ecological risk were articulated as probability distribution of Risk Index 18 values instead of single point values to estimate the uncertainties in the risk evaluation process.
