    Balmiki Community in Darjeeling Hills: Socio- Economic Profile
    (University of North Bengal, 2013-03) Balmiki, Lekhraj
    The present attempt tries to explore the socio-economic profile of the Balmiki community which has been engaged with their traditionally assigned occupation as scavengers and sweepers/ Safai Karmcharis1in the Darjeeling hills. Being a subaltern community, the Balmikis represent a strange case of community yet to come out of the traditional fold.
