Living On The Edge

Some of our borders are messy. Some are impossible to breach. A few are fenced. Others are unfenced. Where does one country begin and the other end? Many years ago, in Samba in Jammu, I had seen the wall of a local school on the border of India and Pakistan dotted with bullet marks
Whether it is Pakistan, China, Bangladesh or Myanmar, the unfinished business of history haunts the region every day
Along the quiet stretches near the border and the Line of Control in Jammu, a fragile calm once held sway, until the sudden thunder of heavy mortar shells since May 7 shattered it
In the border villages of Punjab, caught between two nations, memory and fear shape everyday life. The land is under floodlights, children are sent away in silence, and home is a place one must keep returning to
Maps have divided transnational ethnic groups Nagas, Zos, Bhutias, Bengalis and Nepalis, among others, but the Naga or the Zo mind does not accept the boundaries on India
Graceful Exits from Cricket to Politics: What history teaches us about leadership, legacy, and the art of timely exits.
