520 _a"This book is about an in-between period when India started replacing old boundary structures with a new multilayered fence along its borders with Bangladesh, approximately 2007 until 2015. It specifically explores the diverse mobilities of people, goods, and animals amid political, historical, and ecological forces at play in the Northeast India-Bangladesh borderland. I retrace my steps in time to resituate and contextualize the fence in histories of road-building and rice wars that goes back almost two hundred years. In an era of global nationalistic rhetoric, this book seeks to foreground how the ubiquity of border infrastructures that seek to resolve issues of national citizenship and migrant "illegality" establishes their indeterminacy of purpose. The shifting and twisting ecology of the terrain, along with the complex exchanges, continues to defy contemporary visions of homogeneous nation-states"--
