Dr. Natasha Raheja recently published an article in Cultural Anthropology titled "Governing by Proximity: State Performance and Migrant Citizenship on the India-Pakistan Border." Dr. Raheja's article examines face-to-face and digitally mediated interactions between Pakistani migrants and Indian politicians in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. It argues that proximity is a mode of governance that binds constituents to a wider body politic, while exposing ambivalent state workings.
