- Authors
Joseph, Ancy; Sruthy
- Abstract
Dalits are considered as those who hail from low castes and have been marginalised and oppressed in all possible manners. As any other oppressed group, the Dalits too attempt to track their feelings and emotions through the power of words. They utilise the written words as a weapon against the inhuman oppression of Dalits by the Brahminical social order that hinders the basic human rights and dignity. Apart from other stream of literature with the intent for entertainment, Dalit writing attempts to record social injustice by revealing the harsh realities of Dalit life. Dalit women writers choose the medium of autobiography to give life to their emotions and feelings. The writings of Dalit women writers are based on the life experiences and consciousness. Dalit women writers portray their outburst for justice. Through their autobiographies, they express their attitudes towards work which helped them to conquer their enemy and achieve their own identity.
