Asia, Honorable Mention—The Edge: When Bangladesh declared independence in 1971, many Bengali Hindus and Muslims migrated to the predominantly Hindu state of Assam in northeastern India, fueling tensions at the border. In 2019, India’s government presented an updated National Register of Citizens that put into question the citizenship of more than 1.9 million people ostensibly from Bangladesh, whose status remains in limbo today. This project documents the Miya community that depends on land near the transnational Brahmaputra River for their livelihood and their identity in the eyes of the state. As their land erodes because of worsening floods, they face a fight against both nature and nation. Here, Bengali-speaking Hindus and Muslims help one another shift shops from the edge of the Brahmaputra river at the Tarabari ferry point. The shifting is done in anticipation of the erosion of land that occurs with each monsoon season, which is often devastating for residents as they are forced to constantly adapt to a changing landmass each year.
