<br/><br/> Based on a year-long ethnographic fieldwork in Pada—a village in Beed district of Maharashtra—the various extensions of the village in the post-liberalisation period are analysed, and comments on the process of incorporation and marginalisation in the making of a village are offered. The village has been (re)defined not just in terms of space but in its conceptions and community transactions on the dynamics of caste, class, religion, and gender. Through the extensions of the village, a changing spatiality of the village and the creation of socio-symbolic meaning can be observed.-Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/49/review-rural-affairs/making-village.html<br/>
