Uncover the enduring identity politics and historical resistance of the Nath (Yogi) community across Bengal and Assam. This essential study delves into the marginalisation faced by this ancient group and their persistent efforts to assert their unique place in Indian society. Explore how, from the late 19th century, segments of the community strategically navigated British colonial administration, utilizing census enumerations and social reforms to craft their identity, even asserting Brahmanical origins. It provides crucial insights into an under-researched facet of Indian social history, vital for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of identity, caste, and regional studies.
