“The book brings out intersectionality lucidly through the collection of essays ― most evidently in its analyses of class, race, region, migrant status. All the chapters are inter-connected organically … . The work remains an important contribution for the anthropological study of healthcare and legitimacy as well as for the detailed sections on research methodology which can be useful for students pursuing social sciences at an advanced level.” (Ipsita Pradhan, Urbanities-Journal of Urban Ethnography, Vol. 14 (1), May, 2024)
