This paper introduces 'Displacement', a special themed issue of Contemporary South Asia with contributors and a guest editor who are all members of the British Association for South Asian Studies (BASAS). The paper outlines the use of the notion of displacement as a way of understanding aspects of the politics of South Asia and its Diaspora. Displacement is presented as both an empirical and conceptual category that may be used to describe the movement of peoples and geographies, as well as analytical vocabularies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
