Abstract
Through readings of Adhir Biswas’ memoirs – Deshbhager Smriti [2010 Biswas, Adhir. 2010. Deshbhager Smriti. 4 vols. Kolkata: Gangchil. [Google Scholar]. 4 vols. Kolkata: Gangchil] and Allar jomite paa [2012. Kolkata: Gangchil] – as well as Manoranjan Byapari’s autobiographical work Itibritte Chandal Jibon (2012), I study the importance of education in the lives of first-generation literate Bengali Dalit immigrants. I evaluate the journey of Biswas and Byapari from being labelled as “chhotolok”, towards becoming a part of the bhadralok social group, redefining what it means to belong to either group. I observe how education enables incorporation of these writers into the mainstream elite lifestyle and why this process of assimilation is riddled with difficulties from both ends. By briefly referring to the antagonistic relationship between the subalterns and the landlords in the Indian scenario, I note how traditional social markers of the colonial bhadralok are increasingly challenged in the postcolonial period by the non-bhadralok masses through unconventional counter-narratives. Furthermore, I discuss the role that education plays in legitimizing the position of marginalized people, such as refugees, in post-partition India. How does literacy change the perspectives of Dalit refugees towards their surroundings, and what significance does the act of writing hold for them?

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
