Explore the complex interplay of space and identity in colonial Northeastern India with “Becoming a Borderland.” This insightful book, spanning the early 1800s to the 1930s, challenges fragmented post-colonial narratives. It delves into the negotiated state-formation of the Mughal era, the East India Company’s early interventions, and the crucial role of markets in transmitting authority. Discover how peasantization, economic shifts, and colonial legality entrenched themselves, shaping the region’s unique borderland identity. “Becoming a Borderland” offers a rich analysis of the political economy and cultural studies, examining the production of counter-narratives and the hyphenated existence between proto-‘Bengal’ and proto-‘Assam’. An essential read for understanding the historical formation of this dynamic region.
