Through a case study approach, it reveals how this selective inclusion perpetuates cultural marginalization, affecting the self- identity and educational experiences of Koch Rajbongshi students. Theoretical insights from cultural hegemony, social justice in education, and critical literacy emphasize that inclusive curricula foster a cohesive and equitable society by valuing diverse cultural narratives. The chapter calls for policy reforms to integrate minority literature, advocating for an inclusive educational system that respects Assam's cultural diversity. These efforts are essential for promoting equity, enhancing student engagement, and fostering a sense of belonging. Aligning Assam's literacy policies with UNESCO principles promotes equity, cultural diversity, and preservation of Koch Rajbongshi literature. 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
