Kriti KapilaThe book examines three forms of negation, where the Indian statede factoadopted doctrines ofterra nullius(in the erasure of indigenous title),res nullius(in acquiring museum objects), and, controversially,corpus nullius(in denying citizens ownership of their bodies under biometrics). The result is a pathbreaking reconnection of questions of property, exchange, dispossession, law, and sovereignty.
