I have always disliked reading pdf formats of books and articles. But, seems that I cannot afford this luxury in London. My study that I long for. Guwahati, 2022.
northeast India, partition, developement, formier British empire, insurgencies, race, postcolonial resource frontier. Sanjib Baruah's critical account of the postcolonial life in the periphery of India. Amazing!

Grandma hands me over this cute wooden box procured by her in the late 1940s from British Indian Calcutta. The box also has a leather pouch for glasses, a marriage certificate of her daughter and a khadi handkerchief from their wedding in the 50s. ♥️
It came to an end; the mouths opened by themselves; the yellow and black voices still spoke of our humanism but only to reproach us with our inhumanity. Fanon, 1965.
'I come here everyday, smoke some bidi. Some days are good, some are bad. During monsoon, the catch is usually good. My grandchildren loves small fish', says a grandfather. He lives on the bank of Shankosh. The river is a boundary between Assam and West Bengal.

Jogamaya Ghat in Dhubri looks so different today. A daily mode of transportation to Phulbari, Hatsingimari, South Salmara, Chibinag and various other river islands!
Sanjib's approach towards gathering narratives of people who witnessed the Indian independence movement from Dhekiajuli, Assam. Oral narratives from the periphery.
Looking forward for a copy soon!

Wonderful talk by Dr Nandini Das, on her book 'Courting India' at the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Elephants, memories, imagination, and the Mughal.

On the way to my university today, I was asked if I am a "Bangladeshi". I answered it with a question: Why do you think I'm a Bangaldeshi? I got a reply saying "sorry, you look like one". The rest is xyz from my end. Didn't expect this from a doctoral researcher though.

Sunakhari, a pure reflection of an elderly couple's bonding beyond love, nested in the Himalayas. The musical portrays simplicity and selfnessness in life and love in the Himalayas through the eyes of this beautiful couple.

Old maps are really interesting! They reveal that along with geo-political space, epiestemological space was also being contained by "colonisers", especially in context of northeast India.

This body? It perishes. Everything does.
But the threads of memory are woven such that the universe resides in its every bead. I will pick those tiny beads and I will weave the threads. And then, I will meet you again.

Chandubi Lake was formed in 1897 during the devastating earthquake in Assam. Chandubi was a hilly area with five hills before 1897. The five hills had sunken into the ground during the earthquake and formed the lake.
Assam, carefree youthfulness, merciless reality, strict moral social codes, Bulbul, Bonny and Suman. Thank you Madam

What a majestic view!
The mighty Himalayas visible on a winter morning from Kolia Bhomora Setu,Tezpur.
Low AQI & a pollution-free environment enable this crystal clear view, captured by Gautam Deka, of the magnificent mountain range located near the Arunachal-Tibet border.
Does Assam have shopping malls and airport? Also, isn't 'northeast' a state?
This came from a cureent higher secondary school student in India. Although, this is not the first time I came across such questions. However, they are interesting and absolutely fascinating!

Grateful for these generous and thoughtful blurbs for my book from scholars whose work I admire! Hard at work on proofs to get this out to the world soon. I’m very excited (and a little terrified) for people to read it.
