- W4200456123 abstract "A close reading of the recorded patterns of goods seized at the Wagah–Attari crossing reveals the overriding significance of gold smuggling. Throughout the 1950s and the 1960s, more people were involved in gold smuggling than any other form of cross-border contraband, who were driven by prices and profits. What is inescapable throughout, however, is the continuing demand for gold that fuelled the black market in bullion. What seems to have happened is that coordinated entrepreneurs secured batches of gold wherever possible and smuggled them into the subcontinent to take advantage of the prices inflated by Partition, the state prohibition and sheer demand of gold for the societal preference for a variety of reasons. Gold flows brought some wealth to the Punjab borderland, which served as the global countryside and transit points for a vibrant flow of contraband trade with India. This chapter explores some of the contours of illicit gold trade, asking firstly what its polymorphous character could tell us about the nature of boundary and dynamics of smuggling along the Punjab border. Which social groups monopolised gold smuggling and how were they connected across the border? How serious a threat was gold smuggling to the functioning of local and national economies? What could the extent of gold smuggling tell us about the early postcolonial India–Pakistan states?" @default.
