The violence of early May 1993 between the Meiteis and Pangals of Manipur led to loss of lives and properties, besides internal displacement, and spatial rearrangement. The cold response from the state and civil societies add to a long-term transmission of trauma and transformation in the boundary relations between the two communities. Taking internal displacement as the entry point of enquiry, this paper analyzes the narrative of everyday engagements and boundary relations between people who are separated by displacements; by critically analyzing the nature of engagements through contemporary discourses of identity construction and redefinition. The paper explores the micro narratives of everyday boundary relations and problematizes the ordinary as the site of production and circulation of subjectivity. This paper contends that the ordinary is a complex set of contrasting subjectivities that indicates a differential power dynamic. Processes of displacement and spatial rearrangement, subjectivation, rise of new subjectivities and redefinition of one’s identity and their contribution in forging new boundaries between the two communities are discussed.
