This book intersects marginality, politics, and policies by focusing on the narratives of selective marginalised groups within India. 
Encouraging inclusive government policies that considers the diverse identities of individuals and groups within India, this book is a systematic documentation of the lived experiences of various marginalised collectives, such as the Naths of Bengal, the De-notified Tribes of Maharashtra, the Kukis of Manipur, and the Beggars. The chapters use historiography as a method to understand narratives of marginality in India, illuminating how power imbalances in Indian society lead to the marginalisation of specific groups, depriving them of fundamental rights and opportunities, while others enjoy privileges.

It details the aspirations of various marginal groups in evolving and changing socio-political circumstances.
