520 8 |a This innovative study explores the interface between nation-building and refugee rehabilitation in post-partition India. Relying on archival records and oral histories, Uditi Sen analyses official policy towards Hindu refugees from eastern Pakistan to reveal a pan-Indian governmentality of rehabilitation.

Not all refugees, however, were willing or able to live up to this top-down vision of productive citizenship. The reminiscences of refugees reveal divergent negotiations of rehabilitation 'from below'.
