  • More about Biharis in Bangladesh: Transition from Statelessness to Citizenship


The book explores the citizenship status of Biharis in Bangladesh and their limited access to citizenship rights, despite being legally citizens. It argues that this situation makes them de facto stateless, despite being de jure citizens. The author suggests policy changes to address this issue and make Biharis' citizenship effective.

The book "Citizenship Status of Biharis in Bangladesh: Access to Rights" explores the citizenship status of Biharis in Bangladesh and their ability to access citizenship rights. The main argument of the book is that while legally the Biharis are citizens of Bangladesh, they face significant barriers in accessing important citizenship rights, which renders them de facto stateless despite their de jure citizenship status. The book employs a law and society approach to examine both legal and non-legal factors contributing to the deplorable conditions of the Biharis in Bangladesh. Based on fieldwork, the book analyzes that the Biharis' inability to access citizenship rights is inconsistent with citizenship theory, citizenship laws, and the Constitution of Bangladesh. To make the Biharis' citizenship effective or meaningful, the author suggests recommendations for policy changes that would enable Biharis to access rights associated with citizenship.
