DESCRIPTION:In the light of nationwide protests against Citizens Amendment
  Bill in India\, this paper seeks to highlight the trajectories of Muslim 
 communities that were displaced and marginalised without crossing borders 
 in 1947. This paper raises questions about the liminality of borders by de
 monstrating the ways in which situations of ‘otherness’ develop. By tr
 acing a gendered history of Muslim ghtettoisation and resilience\, it pres
 ents an ‘alternative’ history of  India's partition as Muslims became 
 refugees in their homeland\, and since then have renegotiated their post p
 artition identities.
