Abstract	This study analyses the aspects of poor living conditions, caste-based discrimination and social exclusion that frequently restrict the representation of marginalized communities. The lived experiences of the people who live in Sweepers Colony, a historically underprivileged minority population that works in sanitation are examined in this paper titled, “Exploring the Living Conditions and Structural Marginalization in the Urban Slum Area of Tezpur’s Sweepers Colony: Caste, Sanitation Work and Urban Exclusion”. Each section focuses on particular circumstances or aspects of geographic information, demographic composition, economic and historical background, education, governance, local administration, cultural and social information, housing, infrastructure, resources, community health and other related factors through qualitative narratives.
