DESCRIPTION:In India\, one of the first questions you heard was about your
  'native place'. Not necessarily where you live but where you belong. Can 
 a place\, a certain administrative demarcation\, lend you roots though? An
 d if yes\, what is the nature of these roots?\n\nIn a time when people are
  not only moving more often and much further from their ancestral villages
  and towns\, the question is further complicated by new technologies that 
 can potentially bring new cultural experience\, and even a sense of commun
 ity\, to any corner of the globe. \n\nParadoxically\, through nativist mov
 ements and an aggressive nationalism\, citizens seek to define themselves 
 not in terms of who they are or what they value\, but through who they are
  not. \n\nThrough memory and personal narratives\, the writer attempts to 
 examine her affiliation with\, and affinity for\, the 'native' locations t
 hat lend her roots.\n
