Marginality is prevalent in every society world over, either on the basis of class-system, racism or casteism. In short, the way of living is culture. In present days, multiculturalism is by product of globalization. The people are coexisting with various cultural features in perspective of modern world.

The present research article focuses the concept of cultural studies in respect to marginality. Now-a-days, globalization has reduced traditional barriers in terms of societal conditioning. In spite of that religion is significantly considered as a critical component in the indigenous communities of the respective counties. Consequently, irrespective of multiculturalism prominent religion of the country gives chance of marginality of minority religious people. The reason behind discussion on marginality is the problems of limitations that the marginalized groups face because of their cultural aspects. In most of the countries, the minority groups are marginalized basically on the grounds of linguistic, ethnic and religious disparities. The mainstream culture set sides counter-cultures as disadvantaged backgrounds. They suffer not only by poverty but also because of social isolation and economic, political marginalization as well. It leads splitting the society into two classes as powerful and powerless.

The current study explores interrelation between marginalized and elevated groups. The dominant groups in the society always keep on maintaining their elevated position restricting marginalized ones. Literature provides platform and opportunity to discuss Marginality in relation to human issues interlinked with socio cultural questions of individuals living in various areas of society such as Dalits, Native Americans, Black slaves, African and many more.
