Geneva Camp is the name of a large and overcrowded neighborhood of Dhaka that is the de facto home to tens of thousands of descendents of Muslims originally from the Indian state of Bihar who fled to what was then East Pakistan after the partition of India in 1947. After many decades of residence in what since 1971 is Bangladesh, they remain stateless and subject to discrimination. A squalid but lively and warmly welcoming city within the city has evolved here, mixing dark and tiny one room homes with shops, cottage industries and slaughterhouses.
