Apart from the above articles, three reports were published that dealt with various issues of conflict-induced displacement and the memories of the displaced. All these contributed to the reading repository of the Ninth Winter Course on Forced Migration. RWO is a co-publication of Refugee Watch on the flow of refugees, other victims of forced migration, and the internally displaced in South Asia.
Refugee Watch Online has an editorial board made up of some of the alumni of the last six courses, and the editorial board members are responsible for coordinating each month's issue. This year, too, we plan to redesign the RWO editorial board for the participants of the Seventh Winter Course on Forced Migration.

In the nationalist framework of thought, India's history ends in 1947 with the fall of the British Empire in South Asia. Similarly, in the nationalist framework of Bangladeshi academia, the language movement and the liberation struggle loom large. Anindita Ghoshal points out that after partition, the story of the influx of refugees into Tripura was one of gradual dominance of immigrants over the original inhabitants and was, therefore, unique.
This project explored the various efforts of refugees to survive in adverse conditions and how this changed the psychological nature of the community. The main objectives of this research are fivefold: (a) to paint a broad picture of the various groups of stateless persons and assess their situation in India; (b) review the relevant literature and build our knowledge bank on statelessness and update the baseline by gathering insights from the various reports, accounts, memoirs, government documents etc. available to us; (c) To examine the overall statelessness situation in India from a comparative perspective and prepare a state of the art report on the various categories of stateless persons identified in our study; (d) explore and propose policy alternatives to address the problem of statelessness in India; and (e) to disseminate the knowledge thus acquired in the wider civil society by conducting dialogues and workshops with different parts of the reviewed societies and establishing the CRG as a center of coordination between them. Chaturvedi spoke about the politics of scientific discourse that has developed in the US and the West in general regarding climate change and its effects on the Global South, with a particular focus on Bangladesh.
He argued that although traditionally the figure of the migrant is the "other" who defines the "core", ie. citizen, today migration and citizenship can be seen as part of a continuum. He especially devoted himself to the problem of internal displacement and the problem of internally displaced persons in the north-east of India. The next roundtable moderated by Sanjoy Hazarika was on "Resource Crisis, Environmental Displacement and Forced Migration".
