520 _aIn 1874, Sylhet, a district of Bengal Presidency, was transferred to Assam. In 1947, following the Sylhet Referendum, Sylhet, except for three and a half thanas of the Karimganj sub-division that remained in India, was transferred to East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). The Sylhet referendum and partition of India (Assam) provided, among others, the context for the articulation of a reconstructed Sylheti identity. Drawing on the particular case of the Sylhet Association of Delhi, which is called the Sreehatta Sammilani, Delhi (SSD), this article maps out the processes and practices of associational Sylheti ethnic identity and its reconstruction in a migrant community.- Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/00380229241306094
