Amid these enormous losses, the people in Gaza are observing Eid al-Fitr, that takes place at the end of the holy month of Ramadan. The last four celebrations of Eid in Gaza have been marked by the sounds of warplanes, gunfire, and shelling. Although this year’s Eid arrives without the sounds of war that residents of Gaza had grown accustomed to during past Eids, signs of joy remain limited.

Dust fills the air where homes used to be, settling on the rubble of walls, utensils scattered across several locations in Assam. They are all different, but the sorrow and misery are the same. Each image shows the demolition of routines, of memory, of belonging. They have lived, rooted to one place, for decades, only to have it all taken away without any warning, leaving behind not just the rubble. Displacement in Goalpara, Jagiroad, Morigaon, Nagaon and Kamrup districts is not always marked by the impossibility of return. At times, the dislocation stretches from demolition to disappearance. There are tales of those with documentation going back decades, with names appearing on electoral rolls prior to 1971, yet they continue to be dislocated, confined, or forced into other territories, with the status of citizenship unclear. These stories traverse space, moving in and out of the landscape, leaving behind families, lives, and fragments of lives lived across borders.
