Kolkata FOR PAPERS Theme: MARGINALITIES AND THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT Alok Kumar Ghosh Former HOD & :HISTORICAL CHALLENGES Associate Professor The subcontinental scale of India as a nation poses unique problems in terms of diverse Department of History geographies, ethnicities, languages, cultures, and so on. From time to time— in the hoary past University of Kalyani, as much as in the present— majoritarian ambitions have tried to iron out this diversity to Kalyani dominate in the name of a singular identity and render this land in terms of a monolithic political and/or social conceptualisation.
