Abstract: | Ria Kapoor's book, Making Refugees in India, explores the history of refugees in India, tracing the way the figure of ‘refugee’ makes its appearance in the subcontinent since colonial times. The motivation for the book stems from the Citizen Amendment Act passed in the Indian Parliament in 2019, and through the book, Kapoor explores the past histories and the struggles of refugees in independent India for last seventy-five years. Through the historicizing of the concept of refugee, Kapoor touches on various periods of history within the subcontinent. |
