Manoranjan Byapari's novel, 'Nowhere People,' illuminates the lives of the marginalized poor residing on Kolkata's railway platforms, particularly around Jadavpur station. The narrative contrasts the 'civilized' Platform One with the 'nowhere people's' Platform Two, highlighting socioeconomic divides and the struggle for identity. Through unnamed characters and those with names tied to their experiences, Byapari explores themes of invisibility, exploitation, and the politics of naming, forcing readers to confront those often overlooked in society.
