The Subaltern Studies Group

The Subaltern Studies Group is a collection of scholars who focus on giving voice to marginalized groups in history, particularly in India. They challenge traditional narratives that center on elites and rulers, emphasizing instead the perspectives of common people and oppressed communities. Their work aims to understand how these groups experienced, resisted, and influenced social and political change, highlighting the importance of their stories in shaping history. Overall, they seek a more inclusive view of history that recognizes the agency and significance of those often left out of mainstream accounts.
