A minority’s sense of identity is shaped by its understanding of its own history. Its self-image is influenced, no less, by the image the majority groups have of the minority, an image shaped in turn, by their understanding of history. Major focus of this writing is on the history of Biharis, with particular emphasis on Bangladesh episode. This write-up investigates the way the Bihari communities experience antagonisms in locations they perceive as ‘exilic imagine places’ in which those antagonisms will be extirpated, and their identities fully realized.
