500 _aDalit literature defies inequality, injustice, subjugation, and marginalization; and sows the seeds of revulsion, resistance, and revolution in human minds. It offers a platform for the erstwhile voiceless, dispossessed, and underprivileged sections of the society. Emancipation from the caste prejudice always remains stardust for Dalit people. The most vindictive Hindu caste hierarchy reviles and humiliates them and tries to keep them at their foot level, and that’s why they keep remonstrating and recalling protest marches against injustice. The four basic tenets of the Preamble of the Indian Constitution—justice, equality, liberty, and fraternity—remain a dream even for bourgeois, and the poor Dalits of the far-flung villages remain deprived of their fundamental rights in the society. They get a bit respite by legal laws but get mortified and humiliated in the public faction despite of legal safeguards due to lack of the provisions of expeditious punishments in their day-to-day social war. As a backlash, Dalit repercussions germinate, and social turmoil breaks the piece of the country and creates tug-of-war between Dalits and so-called upper caste people. This book traces out different strands of Dalit visions and it interrogates the monopoly of the caste hierarchs. Different dimensions of Dalit literature have been analysed in this anthology. The scope of this anthology is invaluable as it outlines the whole fabric of Dalit literature and sheds light on the complex dynamics of caste. This book provides conceptual undercurrent on diverse aspects of marginality and further evokes everyone to flatten persistent caste hierarchies in India.
