Globalization has altered the processes of identity formation, negotiation, and contestation in South Asia, a region characterized by a diverse array of cultures and significant historical conflicts. This dissertation examines the manifestation of dissociative identity within the framework of globalization in South Asia, specifically in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. This study utilizes secondary data and comprehensive case analyses to investigate the impact of borderland communities and transnational dynamics on individual and community identities. Theoretical frameworks established by researchers like Benedict Anderson, Arjun Appadurai, and Homi K. Bhabha offer a basis for comprehending the relationship among territoriality, globalization, and identity. This study contends that whereas globalization has promoted connection, it has simultaneously exacerbated identity fragmentation, especially in areas with intricate colonial histories and socio-political divisions.
