Meghalaya, the land of cloud-kissed plateaus, cascading valleys, and vibrant traditions, is more than just a frontier. It is a meeting ground of nature, culture, and resilience, where the Border Security Force (BSF) stands steadfast in its duty while also becoming part of the fabric of the land.

In this evocative coffee table book, Shri Harbax Singh Dhillon invites readers on a journey that is at once visual, historical, and deeply personal. Through photographs, sketches, and poetry, the book mirrors the many faces of Meghalaya, its breathtaking landscapes, its diverse communities, and the timeless rhythm of life along its borders. Interwoven is the story of the BSF, guardians of sovereignty who, beyond patrolling, also share bonds of trust and kinship with the people they serve among.

Both a tribute and a record, this volume celebrates the spirit of Meghalaya and the BSF, offering readers a work of beauty, memory, and belonging.
