Who they are
The Markande form a traditional community in northern India, integrated into the rich Hindi-speaking cultural context. Their lives are structured around close family ties, community devotion, and customs passed down through generations. With their identity deeply rooted in local traditions, they continue to have little to no contact with the good news of God’s grace.
