Abstract

In India, significant challenges exist in education for students from marginalized language communities. India is incredibly linguistically diverse but education is offered in only twenty-three languages. We explore the case of Banjara students, a marginalized Tribe in Maharashtra, who speak a different language at home than their non-Banjara peers. This study examines Banjara experiences of the language gap between school and broader communities to develop ways to address closing the gap in the future.
