520			_aPunjab has traditionally remained the locus of partition historiography. However, border making practices and how borderlanders negotiate with these shifting realities rarely figure in Partition studies in India. Based on ethnographic fieldwork and archival sources, this study has attempted to fill this important gap by studying the formation of the Punjab borderland and how it shaped the fate of communities living on the borderland. By tracing the everyday realities of the Rai Sikh community living in the border belt of Ferozpur and Fazilka districts of Punjab, this paper explores thenotion of community and identity in the process of resettlement of the Rai Sikhs on the Punjab borderland. In this way, this study unravels the hitherto untold story of Punjab Partition by delving deep into the politics of the making of the Punjab borderland.- Reproduced https://purjss.puchd.ac.in/issues/2021/purjss-vol29-3-2021.pdf
