Abstract:
India has been a very stratified society, more so than others, and the caste system is very entrenched. The links between caste, social hierarchy and slavery are strong, and it condemns individuals from birth to a life of marginalisation. Such marginalized section of Indian society who consolidated themselves as 'Dalits', is now reflecting the growing identity, awareness and consciousness in their writings. The objective of this paper is to discuss the historical context of the emergence of 'Dalit literature’, and to analyse the nature of literary representation of Dalit problems with main thrust on Balwant Singh's autobiography ‘An Untouchable in the IAS' (English,1997).
Keywords:
