Dayabati Roy studies two villages in west Bengal in an EPW article Whither the Subaltern Domain?
– An Ethnographic Enquiry. Abstract:
"Decentralisation of power and the institution of the panchayati raj system in West Bengal have been expected to aid the disappearance of subalternity (or a state of
powerlessness) by way of caste, class and gender. On the contrary, an ethnographic investigation in a village panchayat reveals that divisions between the elite and the subaltern continue to exist in a complex form despite grassroots democracy in the state."
