Reconstruction of the Subversive History of the Marginalized in Two Contemporary Bangla Novels


Keywords:
Marginalization, Bajikar, Culture, Other, SantalAbstract
Search of cultural roots of the marginalized is also a recurrent theme in the alternative Bangla novels. This is in a way to reconstruct the subversive history of the marginalized. In the mainstream elitist literature including Bangla novels no genuine attempt was so far made to record the cultural histories of the marginalized people as the Bajikars, the Santals, the Kakmaras, the Mundas, the Bouris, the Shabars and the like. Most of the novels under our critical perusal are in a way planned attempts to reconstruct the cultural histories of the marginalized.
