The "appeased" Muslims of West Bengal.  a"In recent years, Bengali Muslims in India have faced harassment and scapegoating as the trope of the illegal Bangladeshi has gained political currency. India's Bangladesh Problem explores the experience of Bengali Muslims on the Indian side of the India--Bangladesh border in the context of neoliberal policies, unequal bilateral relations, labour migration, contested citizenship, and increasingly xenophobic government rhetoric. Drawing on extensive research in the borderlands and hinterlands of both countries, Navine Murshid argues that ever-deepening neoliberal policies across the border have shaped how certain ethnic groups are valued and have reconfigured social hierarchies. She provides new insights into the strategic inclusion, exclusion, and invisibility that characterizes Bengali Muslims' lives, rendering them a group susceptible to manipulation by virtue of their ethnic kinship to the majority of Bangladeshis. In turn, Bengali Muslims simultaneously resist and utilize received neoliberal ideas to sustain their lives and livelihoods at a time when neoliberal development has largely bypassed them"-- 0aMuslimszIndiazWest Bengal916869 0aMuslimszIndiazAssam916870 0aBorderlandszWest Bengal (India)916871 0aBorderlandszBangladesh.916872  2ddccREF  c760970d760970  00102ddc4070aPOLbPOLcREFd2026-01-27l0o305.697 095 414 MUR/IpPOL23883r2026-06-23 15:27:18w2026-06-23yREF
