The Border That Never Sleeps

The Line of Control is 740 kilometres long. The Line of Actual Control is over 3,400. Together, they form the most closely-guarded frontier on Earth. But the story of the border is not the story of the soldiers alone. It is also the story of the villages, the postmasters, the schoolteachers, and the children on both sides who go to sleep every night to the sound of the world's largest militaries moving in the dark.

Reconstructed from two decades of field reporting — from Uri to Tawang, from Kargil to Demchok — The Border That Never Sleeps is the definitive human portrait of what it means to live on India's two most consequential lines.
