Chiranjib Boruah

Tata Institute of Social Sciences, India

I am currently enrolled as PhD scholar at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Guwahati, where I am working on a thesis based on the border disputes between two North-eastern states, Assam and Nagaland. In the thesis, I am focusing on discussing the peaceful co-existence and conflict happening in the border region, where my primary focus is to analyze various factors interfering with it like migration, uses of land and resources and conflict and displacement issues. My research interests include border and citizenship rights, border conflict, migration, and refugees. I have also completed M.Phil from TISS, Guwahati, where I wrote a dissertation on border and citizenship issues. The dissertation explored the citizenship rights of the border inhabitants of Assam on the Indo-Bangladesh border. The dissertation also discussed the migration issues and the socio-economic and political problems of the immigrants who crossed the border. I am also participating in a workshop and conference conducted by the Mahanirban Calcutta Research group with the help of Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung and the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM), Vienna, from November 16 to November 22, 2023. I am also writing two papers as assignments for the workshop, focusing on the Chin Refugee crisis.
