 ct</h3><p class="p1">In this talk\, I examine how colonial officials sought
  to redraw and control maritime and land-based borders in India\, Burma\, a
 nd Siam during the World War I period. In September 1914\, Lord Hardinge\, 
 the Governor-General of India\, signed the Ingress into India Ordinance whi
 ch granted local police and magistrates unprecedented powers to arrest and 
 detain Indian men returning from abroad. The ordinance was ostensibly aimed
  at seditionists from Punjab but was used more widely to criminalize mercha
 nts and traders in India\, Burma\, and Siam. To document the violent effect
 s of the Ingress\, I offer a legal history through family biography.</p><h3
