Shadows of Caste: Conflict and Discrimination in Dalit Life (With Special Reference to the Outcaste – Akkarmashi)

Author(s) Mr. SURESH G D
Country India
Abstract Caste serves as a profound, lifelong stigma that affects every aspect of Dalit life, not only as a social order. The article “Shadows of Caste: Conflict and Discrimination in Dalit Life” examines the various ways that structural injustice, exclusion, and humiliation impact Dalit life in India. The study, which centers on Sharankumar Limbale's The Outcaste (Akkarmashi), explores the psychological, emotional, and social traumas that caste-based discrimination inflicts on those compelled to dwell on the edges. Limbale's story serves as an unvarnished lens through which one may observe how caste permeates the fundamentals of existence, including childhood innocence, familial ties, educational settings, interpersonal connections, and the fundamental need for dignity.
The argument takes place in two interrelated dimensions: the intimate, visceral experiences described by Limbale in his autobiography, and the larger, social patterns of caste conflict and discrimination. The article illustrates how caste violence is both a personal tragedy and a social historical consequence by combining the political and the personal. According to the study, Dalit autobiographies serve as potent testimonials of resistance, memory, and truth in addition to being life tales. They force readers to face the living reality of individuals who suffer the brutality of caste and show how caste is becoming more and more entrenched in daily life.
