Lines Drawn in Sand
How borders drawn in distant capitals became the fault lines that South Asia is still living along a century later.
Lines Drawn in Sand follows the frontier as an idea before it follows it as a place: the treaties, the surveys, and the compromises that fixed a line across mountains and communities that had never recognised one.
Drawing on archival material alongside three decades of reporting, the book argues that the region's recurring crises are not accidents of politics but the predictable inheritance of how these boundaries were made.
