This is our first paper from the UCL-LUMS Partition of Identity Project exploring the lives of the Pakistani Bengali community in Pakistan. We are deeply grateful to those who generously gave up their time to take part in the study. We hope we have done their accounts justice 🙏🏽 poistudy.com

Drawing on 85 oral history interviews, we introduce the concept of suspended identity to describe the impermanence and precarity of citizenship status that defines life for many Pakistani Bengalis, resulting in deep, intergenerational consequences for an already marginalised community

In the article we explore how historical conflict, state-security frameworks, and racialised assumptions continue to shape citizenship policy and practice for Pakistani Bengalis in Karachi. Despite being 3rd & 4th generation residents, many continue to face challenges around citizenship.
