 ok Talk with\nSuchitra Vijayan\n\n\n\nIndia is a\nland of borders\, its pe
 ripheries nestling against seven countries. Over seven\nyears\, across 9\,
 000 miles\, Suchitra Vijayan travelled these borderlands. The\nmore she tr
 avelled\, the clearer it became to her that local history and memory\nbear
  no resemblance to the political history of the nation that claims these\n
 lands and peoples. From the densely populated border that India shares wit
 h\nBangladesh to the highly disputed one with Pakistan\, the stories in th
 is book\nengage with how people live\, struggle\, fight and survive. A man
  escapes the\nfloodlights that invade his home by blocking out all light\,
  children use a\nborder pillar as a handy cricket stump\, and a family liv
 e out their lives\nbeside the men who orchestrated their son’s death. Thes
 e are stories that\nquestion our ideas of what freedom means and what it m
 eans to be a citizen. \n\nSuchitra\nVijayan was born and raised in Madras\
 , India. Her work has appeared in The\nWashington Post\, GQ\, The Boston R
 eview\, The Hindu\, and\nForeign Policy. A Barrister by training\, she pre
 viously worked for the\nUnited Nations war crimes tribunals in Yugoslavia 
 and Rwanda before co-founding\nthe Resettlement Legal Aid Project in Cairo
 \, which gives legal aid to Iraqi\nrefugees. She is an award-winning photo
 grapher\, the founder\, and executive\ndirector of the Polis Project\, a h
 ybrid research and journalism organization.\nHer book Midnight's Borders: 
 A People's History of Modern India was\npublished to critical acclaim in t
