The Subaltern Studies Group (SSG) is a group of South Asian scholars in the field of postcolonial studies. The SSG focuses primarily on South Asia, as well as the rest of the developing world in a more general sense. The SSG first came to prominence in the 1980s with the intention of writing a new history of India: subaltern studies scholars put greater focus on the importance of the agency of subalterns in catalyzing political and social change.
