DESCRIPTION:Historians of Empire have for some time researched beyond and 
 across the boundaries of nation-states and empires\, tracing networks in t
 he global flow of ideas\, people and goods. Yet despite India’s partitio
 n itself not being certain until within a few months of August 1947\, ther
 e is still remarkably little work engaging with the political and social h
 istories of both early independent India and Pakistan within the same fram
 ework.  Drawing on previously unexplored sources developed in a collaborat
 ive project comparing Uttar Pradesh\, India and Sindh\, Pakistan\, this le
 cture explores the inter-related modes and meanings of citizenship in each
  early postcolonial state.  It argues that citizenship is not just about b
 elonging to one nation-state\, but how specific places\, especially cities
 \, relate to other settlements sometimes across international borders.
