Mohammad Golam Rabbani, Bangladesh-India Land Boundary Agreements, 1974-2015: Context, Correlations and Territoriality, Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Hum.), 69, 1, pp.89-106, 2024. doi: https://doi.org/10.3329/jasbh.v69i1.74464 Abstract: Bangladesh and India share 4096.7 km. land boundary, which was drawn between India and the eastern part of Pakistan (East Bengal) by the Radcliffe Award during the partition of 1947. This boundary became the Bangladesh-India boundary after the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971. Therefore, the Pakistan-India land boundary disputes over the un-demarcated boundary, adverse possessions and enclaves transformed into Bangladesh-India ones. These land boundary disputes witnessed one summit-level agreement between Pakistan and India and three summit-level agreements between Bangladesh and India. However, the land boundary disputes were eventually resolved under the land swap deal of 2015. This striking background led to the question as to why these issues were hung up for 68 years, what contexts led to several summit-level agreements on the same issues, and what were the correlations among the agreements. Against this background, this article attempts to shed light on how India, being the big neighbour, dominated the entire trajectory of the land boundary disputes and how it changed its agreed positions from one agreement to another. However, the main objective of this article is to see whether India’s territoriality towards its border with Bangladesh was gradually transformed into the pattern of a zero-sum game during the period from 1974 to 2015, and what was the corresponding territoriality of Bangladesh.

The land swap deal between India and Bangladesh was, indeed, a great deal concerning land boundary management in particular and bilateral relations in general. India and Bangladesh share a 4096.7 km land boundary; disputes over this long boundary, namely un-demarcated boundary, adverse possessions and enclaves started from the beginning, which Bangladesh had inherited from Pakistan. However, to resolve the land boundary disputes, the governments of India and Bangladesh signed the Land Boundary Agreement in 1974. Subsequently, Bangladesh ratified the agreement and carried out its task within a few months. In contrast, the agreement remained unimplemented by India for 41 years (1974-2015). Eventually, after many bilateral deliberations, India found a way to implement the agreement in 2015. Against this backdrop, the present article sheds light on the historical and political perspectives of the Indo-Bangladesh land swap deal and, thereby, underscores the key factors behind this final deal. 

 

Mohammad Golam Rabbani, Quit India Movement: Media Discourse and Mass Mobilization in Eastern Bengal, Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Humanities), 63, 2, pp.261-281, 2018.

The Quit India Movement of 1942 was the ever-biggest mass movement spearheaded by the Indian National Congress and was characterized by spontaneous and sporadic revolts. It took a violent turn in many urban places across the country. In Bengal, it was intense in Kolkata and some western districts but relatively moderate in eastern districts. Nevertheless, very tangible evidence of public mobilization into this movement in some eastern districts is accessible.  However, the historiography of the Quit India Movement has remained aloof towards what happened in the eastern districts of Bengal so far. Against this backdrop, this paper attempts to shed light on the media discourse and mass mobilization of the Quit India Movement in Eastern Bengal.

Mohammad Golam Rabbani, Bangladesh-India Borderland: In Search of Human Security, The Arts Faculty Journal, University of Dhaka, 8 & 9, 12 & 13, pp.55-74., 2018,.

This paper, written in the context of the Bangladesh-India borderland, discusses how this borderland becomes the epicentre of state-sponsored violation of human rights and how human security could be ensured in the border regions. However, ‘violent administrative interventions’ are still considered to be the effective way to securitize this border. In this security dogma, borderland people (both ‘self’ and ‘others’) are often seen as ‘aberrations and as instruments of subversion threatening national sovereignty’. In doing so, the borderland people have been deprived, discriminated and victimized. Does not the security apparatus, which victimizes the local people of the borderland, lack in moral power to ensure border security in the true sense? However, human security needs to be the main focus of the land boundary and borderland policies.

   

Mohammad Golam Rabbani, The Permanent Settlement: A Critical Study of Decolonial Approach, Journal of the Itihas Acadesmy, 2, 2, pp.87-96, 2013.

More than a half-century has passed after the political decolonization of the Indian subcontinent but the history of this region is yet to be decolonized. The colonial subservience is still dominant, especially, in the history of Bangla. Under this circumstance, the history of the Permanent Settlement is attempted to be critically reviewed with a de-colonial approach in this article. The Permanent Settlement is often fantasized by many scholars as a benign settlement for capitalist transformation in agriculture. But, from a de-colonial standpoint, it can be seen as a settlement for the ‘revenue farmers’ for being the permanent pillar of the British political domination. Differentiation and expropriation in the peasant economy were the main effects of the Permanent Settlement. But, most of the historical works, presumably owing to colonial scholarship and colonial source materials have spent much time in discussing the benign role of its authors. The devastating impact of the Permanent Settlement though provide the maximum  texts of those research, their model overwhelmingly perceives the ‘benign role’ of its authors which eventually caused to conceptual paradoxes. These need to be addressed and challenged. This article is an attempt.

CONFERENCE PAPER

Mohammad Golam Rabbani, Cleansing Operation on Rohingyas by Suu Kyi's Government and the Refugee Crises in Bangladesh, "Forgotten Corridors: Global Displacement & the Politics of Engagement" organized by the Canadian Association for Refugee and Forced Migration Studies (CARFMS), University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, 15-18 May 2017.

The ethnic cleansing policies of the military junta of Myanmar in the Rakhine state have caused hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas to flee since the late 1970s. Since Bangladesh shares a land boundary with the Rakhine state, the endangered Rohingyas rush to Bangladesh for refuge. By 2017 their number reaches one million.  When Noble Laureate (in peace!) Aun Suu Kyi’s party NLD formed the first civilian government in 2015, it was expected that the Rohingyas would get rid of all ethnic suppression and atrocities. Ironically, her government has been operating a reinforced brutal cleansing operation on the Rohingyas. Under these circumstances, this paper seeks to shed light on the condition of the Rohingyas on the Bangladesh border. 

 

Mohammad Golam Rabbani, New Crises of the Erstwhile Enclave People Arises through the exchange, 77th Session of the Indian History Congress, Trivandrum, Kerala, India, 28-30 Dec 2016.

Through the much-awaited exchange of enclaves between India and Bangladesh on 31 July 2015 almost 52 thousand stateless people, living therein were eventually provided with state and citizenship after 68 years. In the process of exchange, the enclave residents were given the freedom to take the nationality of either state. Under this privilege, most of the people opted to stay there where they had lived for generations. Only 989 residents from the Indian enclaves in Bangladesh have resettled to India letting their de jure Indian nationality be functional after almost seven decades. It is pertinent to note that no one from Bangladeshi enclaves in India opted for Bangladesh. Though the issue is now settled and most of the people have got their state and citizenship many of them are still in crisis in many aspects. Because in the one hand, some old issues were not addressed in the exchange process on the other hand some new problems were created by some technical errors in the exchange process. This empirical study seeks to shed light on these crises.

 

Mohammad Golam Rabbani, Enclave Disappears from South Asia: Exchange of India-Bangladesh Enclaves and the Changing Scenarios, South Asian History Conference (4th Session), pp.465-471., Punjabi University, Patiala, Punjab, India, 2016.

People residing in the lands of enclaves were not responsible at all for the odd creation of enclaves. They had been living there for generations before the emergence of India and Pakistan as states. Being separated by the India-Pakistan borderline in 1947, they had realized for the first time that their living lands were owned by one state but located within another. Thenceforth they were kept alienated and detached. They were known as ‘people of nowhere’ in the true sense. Their statelessness manifested unprecedented human suffering. However, the ‘bright day of justice’ has emerged for almost 52 thousand enclave residents through the exchange of enclaves between India and Pakistan in 2015. Under these circumstances, this paper attempts to shed light on what the ‘exchange’ brings for those who were enslaved in the enclaves.

 

Dr. Binayak Sen & Mohammad Golam Rabbani, Trade, Investment and Employment: Addressing the Trust Deficit in Bangladesh-India Economic Relations, Bangladesh-India Relations in the Age of Globalization: Post-Prime Ministerial Summit Conference, organized jointly by the Centre for Alternatives, Bangladesh, and Jamia Millia Islamia, India, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 17-18 September 2011..

Through evaluation of some crucial series of issues hanging between the two parties, which are addressed in detail in the discussion follows it can be said that progress on India-Bangladesh economic relations has been slow, though often with intermittent sparks. In such cases, the pace of future progress would depend in part on liberalizing further the bilateral trade regime, but mainly on the success in areas of joint investments and employment generation. Whatever progress has been made its significance has turned pale in the backdrop of rising trust deficit, especially in non-trade and “non-economic” areas of cooperation. Hence, India-Bangladesh economic relations need to be seen in its multidimensionality and interconnectivity. Advantages need to be taken of “low hanging fruits” in the “non-economic” relations which will create trust in economic relations by generating “reassurance through signaling”. 

 

Mohammad Golam Rabbani, Shifting Trends in the Twentieth Century Politico-economic Culture in South Asia, The 19th Conference of the International Association of Historians of Asia (IAHA), Manila, The Philippines, 21-25 November 2006.

An attempt has been made to analyse the shifting trends and the resultant histories of the twentieth century with a special reference to Bengal (present Bangladesh and West Bengal of India). This paper is roughly divided into four sections: the first section deals with theoretical connotations; the second section focuses on the shifting trends in the economy; the third one concentrates on the rural-urban tensions and conflict of values. The fourth and final section analyses the changing pattern of leadership and the politicization process in the ‘village power structure’.

Mohammad Golam Rabbani, Statelessness in South Asia: Living in Bangladesh-India Enclaves, Theoretical Perspectives (A Journal of Social Sciences and Arts), Research Monograph (combining of volumes 12 & 13), pp.73, 2007.

This work is a study of the Statelessness of the ‘chhiter look’ (enclave people) in Bangladesh and India. It reviews the background history as well as the political and socio-economic perspectives of the Bangladesh-India enclaves. The key issues of the study are (i) the creation of enclaves, (ii) the number, location, and population of the enclaves, (iii) the evolution of social and economic life therein, (iv) Statelessness and the crisis of identity (v) the problem of State sovereignty, bilateral relations and domestic development pertaining to the enclaves.
