"Exploring Dalit Literature With A Focus On Women's Lives And Experiences"

Author(s) Ms. SANGEETHA JAGANNATHAN
Country India
Abstract Abstract
Dr Ambedkar quoted that ‘Breaking up the caste system was not to bring about inter-caste dinners and inter-caste marriages but to destroy the religious notions on which caste was founded’ India has seen tremendous progress over the years. But has this progress really achieved the true liberation of people. Even today in a country with diverse languages, cultures, religions and economic status, we live in unity. To a great extent this unity is limited to books alone. Considering the communal riots, honour killing, and the caste inequalities in our country, it creates a curiosity to know the past and the present outlook of caste system in India. In the traditional Indian caste system a member of the lowest caste Dalit is also known as ‘Untouchables’ and considered the lowest social group in the Hindu Caste system. The word Dalit means ‘oppressed’ in the 1930’s. Even in the 21st century, an entire population in India and Hindu regions of Nepal, Pakistan, Srilanka and Bangladesh is often considered contaminated from birth because they are ‘Dalits’, they face discrimination and even violence from members of higher castes or traditional social classes, particularly in access to jobs, education and marriage partners. This paper intends to find out the real life of Dalits as depicted in literature and the life of women of this caste group, both in the past and present. If India speaks of unity then why is half of the dalit population living below the poverty line and more than 60percent still illiterate.
Keywords Key Words: Depressed Classes, Discrimination, Dalit literature, Untouchability , Resistance, womanism.
