摘要

This concluding chapter critically engages with the historical and contemporary marginalization of the Nat community, with particular emphasis on Nat women (Natani), through the lens of identity formation, social categorization, and subaltern perspective. It interrogates the enduring impact of colonial legacies—particularly the Criminal Tribes Act (1871)—and examines how intersections of social stratification, gender, religion, and economic exclusion shape the lived realities of the Natani. The chapter underscores how identity is contextually negotiated within complex social structures. It concludes by advocating for inclusive policy measures, participatory research, and culturally responsive interventions to enable the empowerment and social integration of the Nat community.
