Marginalization based on geographic-isolation has serious repercussions on construction of identities. Identities in geographically isolated borderlands in Jammu and Kashmir are doubly-marginalized due to lack of development and the impact of ongoing conflict and dispute between the nation-states of India and Pakistan.  Dard-Shins;  one such tribal borderland community of village  Kilshey  in Gurez, Kashmir have been living as ‘non-registered non-rehabilitated refugees’. This research while tracing their displacement from across the border during the time of partition in 1947 to the present day refugee-camps and resettlement colonies, studies the concept of belonging and place-attachment vis-à-vis transition and mobility among the refugees here. The displacement led migration across hostile borders has made both the idea of home unsettled and identity uncertain for them. Caught up between these two is the idea of  marginality  that further informs their bonds of nationalism with both India and Pakistan. Survival as a borderland community in India has not been without the geographical-isolation and under-development that has further led to psychological-distancing and social-disability. Invoking their ancestral links to  uss paar /the other side of the border they migrated from becomes pertinent while imagining a life outside decades of marginalization as has been experienced on  iss paar /this side in India. This intersection of marginality, identity and displacement thus creates an interesting sphere where aspirations of moving out of the category ‘refugee’ are stronger than having lived as refugees for ages in the hope of just and fair rehabilitation and resettlement policies in India.
