| Summary |
How do borderland dwellers living along militarised frontiers negotiate regimes of state security and their geopolitical location in everyday life? What might 'freedom' mean to those who do not resist captivity engendered by borders? Focusing on the predicaments of a double-minority, this book examines the affective attachments, political imaginaries, and ethical claims-making among the Shia Muslims of Kargil |
