Have you ever wondered how life is at the borders? Far away from the elite urban spaces of the nation-state. Places where the force of constitution barely exists. How is life around these borders where national identities dilute? What is it like to be a part of a tribe near a Bangladeshi border or a fighter on the Afghanistan border? Suchitra Vijayan joins me to discuss her fantastic book ‘Midnight’s Borders’ which is a brilliant work of investigative journalism.
