This entry investigates borderland poetics as frameworks for anticolonial resistance against India’s evolving neocolonial structures. Analyzing contemporary poetry from Assam, Kashmir, and Adivasi regions in central India, it examines how these works critique ethnonationalism, extractive capitalism, and enforced cultural erasure. The entry demonstrates how these poetic practices construct counter-hegemonic narratives, reframe cultural heritage and identity beyond nationalist boundaries, and advance new terms for anticolonial resistance in the contemporary conjuncture.
