Preface and Acknowledgements
The theme of this present volume emerged out of the meaningful conversations and debates in the National Seminar on ‘Sociology of Marginality: Contemporary issues’ organised by Department of Sociology, Vidyasagar University, West Bengal on 19–20 March 2014. Instead of dissipating our energies in conversations, however meaningful, we decided to concretise the dialogues set in motion by those who were part of the seminar as well as those who were selected to be paper contributors, in the form of an edited volume. We were initiated into the discourse on marginality by Debarshi Talukdar, who persuaded us to organise a conference on this theme. We are immensely grateful to him for that. The unstinting support and encouragement from Partha Nath Mukherjee, who provided the keynote address in the seminar, helped us embark upon this endeavour to come up with an edited volume on this theme. We benefitted immensely from our conversations on the theme with Pradip Kumar Bose during the seminar and later as well.
