In the aftermath of Bangladesh’s war for independence, the Bihari, who opposed independence and desired to be citizens of Pakistan, were gathered into urban camps to protect them from retaliation. Now, 35 years later, these cramped rooms with little light or air, are the only homes many Bihari have ever known, and yet despite long tenure, some like this family in Bogra, now face eviction. The father is trying to fight the eviction in court.
