  • Sensitive Space Along the India-Bangladesh Border
    THE FRAGMENTS AND THEIR NATION(S): SENSITIVE SPACE ALONG THE INDIA-BANGLADESH BORDER A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Jason Cons January 2011 © 2011 Jason Cons THE FRAGMENTS AND THEIR NATION(S): SENSITIVE SPACE ALONG THE INDIA-BANGLADESH BORDER Jason Cons, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 Borders are often described as “sensitive” areas—exceptional and dangerous spaces at once central to national imaginaries and at the limits of state control. Yet what does sensitivity mean for those who live in, and those who are in charge of regulating, such spaces? Why do these areas persist as spaces of conflict and confusion? This dissertation explores these questions in relation to a series of enclaves—sovereign pieces of India inside of Bangladesh and vice versa—clustered along the Northern India–Bangladesh border. In it, I develop the notion of “sensitivity” as an analytic for understanding spaces like the enclaves, showing how they are zones within which postcolonial fears about sovereignty, security, identity, and national survival become mapped onto territory. I outline the politics of sensitivity and the production of sensitive space through both historical and ethnographic research. First, I explore the ways that ambiguity and vague fears about security and citizenship emerge as forms of moral regulation within and in relation to the enclaves. Specifically, I interrogate the processes through which information about the enclaves is regulated and policed and the ambiguity, suspicion, and insecurity that emerge out of such practices.

  • West Bengal-Bangladesh Borders: Humanitarian Issues
    West Bengal-Bangladesh Borders: Humanitarian Issues Atig Ghosh Sucharita Sengupta Paula Banerjee 2015 Content 1. Chhitmahal: The Defacto Stateless of the Indo-Bangla Border 1 2. On the Edge: Women- Life and Confinement 17 3. Continuum of Violence: The Case of Indo-Bangladesh Border 37 Chhitmahal: The Defacto Stateless of the Indo-Bangla Border Atig Ghosh Chhitmahal and Discourses on it The numerous Indo-Bangladeshi enclaves, which are sprinkled along the international border of Bangladesh and India, are collectively known as chhitmahal and constitute a bizarre political geography. Most of these enclaves are in the Cooch Behar and Jalpaiguri districts of West Bengal, India, and in the Kurigram, Nilphamari, Lalmonirhaat and Pachagarh districts of Bangladesh. In his magisterial study of the enclaves of India and Bangladesh, Brendan R. Whyte tells us there are exactly 198 enclaves in total — 106 Indian enclaves in Bangladesh and 92 Bangladeshi enclaves in India. These totals, for Whyte, include three Indian and 21 Bangladeshi counter-enclaves inside the exclaves of the other country and one Indian counter-counter-enclave inside a Bangladeshi counter-enclave.1 In an article that has now attained the status of a standard reference, Willem van Schendel mentions 197 enclaves which “looks like a group of islands of unequal size,” and produces a map to substantiate his claim.2 The map hardly lives up to any standard of cartographic clarity and van Schendel, perhaps realizing this lacuna, quickly adds, “[P]ositions and sizes [of the enclaves] are approximate since no map of the enclaves has ever been published.”3 All claims to contemporary accuracy are thereby candidly abandoned.

  • Sehnsucht?​ Survival and Resilience in the Indo­Bangladesh Enclaves
    Sehnsucht?​ Survival and Resilience in the Indo­Bangladesh Enclaves Atig Ghosh Men are conditioned beings because everything they come in contact with turns immediately into a condition of their existence. The world in which the v​ita activa spends itself consists of things produced by human activities; but the things that owe their existence exclusively to men nevertheless constantly condition their human makers. In addition to the conditions under which life is given to man on earth, and partly out of them, men constantly create their own, self­made conditions, which, their human origins notwithstanding, possess the same conditioning power as natural things. Whatever touches or enters into a sustained relationship with human life immediately assumes the character of a condition of human existence. This is why men, no matter what they do, are always conditioned beings. Whatever enters the human world of its own accord or is drawn into it by human effort becomes part of the human condition. —Hannah Arendt1 An introductory anecdote Who remembers Mayamana Khatun of Poaturkuthi in Cooch Behar? Not many; not many even in North Bengal, perhaps, where the district of Cooch Behar is situated [ 4.1]. To refresh memory, Khatun, a 29­year­old mother of two, had filed her nomination papers from the Dinhata assembly constituency of Cooch Behar in 2011. She was contesting as a candidate of the Indian People’s Forward Bloc (IPFB), or the Janabadi Forward Bloc in Bengali, which had emerged through a split in the All­India Forward Bloc (AIFB). Heavy­weight leaders of the AIFB had gone over to the new party.
