Migration study has been a fairly neglected domain in India and especially in West Bengal, a state witnessing the longest chain of migration. The initial leftist rhetoric, especially since 1960s, prevalent among the writers, filmmakers, critics and even refugees in West Bengal refrained from looking at some significant socio-cultural domains. Coming out of the shackles of this homogeneous class-centric model towards the end of the last century, there was a renewed interest in exploring some of those unheard voices, especially the ones of socially marginalized castes. However, this should have been more anthropological and intersectional in nature. This article aims to explore one such neglected corpus of an intersectionality of Gender and Caste by probing into the social institution of marriage. My article concentrates on Oral narratives and other printed records to delve deep into this significant but neglected issue.
