description This study explores the lived experiences of citizenship among Tea Garden workers in Bangladesh, focusing on the systemic inequality and inequity they experience and their aspirations for better socio-economic conditions. A qualitative methodological approach draws on in-depth interviews to assess their access to essential services, including healthcare, education, employment, and governmental assistance. The findings reveal that, despite holding legal citizenship, Tea Garden workers face significant exclusion from their citizenship rights due to deeply rooted systemic barriers. Challenges such as limited educational opportunities, unstable employment, inadequate healthcare provisions, and bureaucratic hurdles in accessing government services contribute significantly to their marginalization. Furthermore, the research explores the perspectives of Tea Garden workers regarding their recognition of citizenship rights, their access and limitations to enjoy those rights entirely, and their views on resolving the inequalities they confront. This work contributes to the discourse on lived citizenship by examining the gap between legal recognition and actual inclusion, emphasizing the pressing need for policy reforms to bridge these disparities and ensure equitable access to rights and services for ethnic minority people.
