520 _aThe project of majoritarian boundary-making is unsettled when we explore lives lived at the geographic, environmental, and economic margins of India. Islamicate nominative practices among cultivator caste Kolis (denoted Other Backward Classes) and Adivasis, shared spiritual belongings of Kolis, Dalits, and Muslims, and everyday linguistic practices related to governance and justice at the borderlands in Gujarat, illuminate the rich entanglement of semi-subsistence communities with what is called the Persian cosmopolis. Oppositional potentialities to exclusionary identities always remain co-present as traces, foreclosing the erasure of certain pasts and presents, and containing possibilities for the future. –Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/12/special-articles/obcs-adivasis-and-persian-cosmopolis-indias.html
