Abstract

“Who is going to write their stories when no one even cares whether they exist or not?
- MANAS DUTTA, DIARY ENTRY, SEPTEMBER 1950” (Ghosh 77)
This is how Manas Dutta, one of the central characters of Bhaswati Ghosh’s first work of fiction, Victory Colony, 1950, ends his ‘DIARY ENTRY’ and the poignant question strikes at the heart of the ideological underpinnings of Refugee Studies at large.
