A Selection Of Meena Kandasamy And Urmila Pawa's Novels About Dalit Women's Exclusion

English

Women's studies, intersectionality, and feminism have identified power structures in the literature. The Dalit literature movement emerged during the social reformation movement. In the 20th century, post-modernism and post-colonialism brought about a democratic revolution that demanded equal human rights for all. The marginalized, the oppressed, and the aboriginal were brought forward by it. Many social revolutionaries started movements against the stigmatized social practices during the new waves of humanism that spread across India. In addition to challenging the hierarchy of caste system, the movement also sought to give voice to Dalits through literature. In this way, it has its own aesthetics, with newer subjects, styles, techniques, and forms. It is usually written in regional languages because it is rooted in the region. Furthermore, it's also a paradox that dalit literature is written in regional languages for authenticity, yet its sole purpose is to tell the world about their existence and plight. Exclusion, Assertion, and Patriarchy: Meena Kandasamy and Urmila Pawar's selected works. This article is divided into four chapters on Exclusion, Oppression, and the Knowledge of Rights Known to Subalterns.
