A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DALIT CONSCIOUSNESS IN VIBHAVARI SHIRURKAR’S NOVEL ‘THE VICTIM’ AND LAXMAN GAIKWAD’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY ‘THE BRANDED’
View through CrossRef
Dalit literature is a literature by Dalit writer or any other writer with Dalit consciousness. Most of the Dalit writers and critics are of the opinion that Dalit consciousness is an exclusive experience of the person born into Dalit community. However, many writers belonging to Upper caste communities like Munshi Premchand, Mulk Raj Anand and Arundhati Roy etc. wrote on Dalit lives with Dalit consciousness throwing light on the plight of Dalits. When we read the novel The Victim by Vibhavari Shirurkar and Laxman Gaikwad’s autobiography The Branded the live picture of the branded communities appears before our eyes. The present paper aims at in-depth study and the analysis of Dalit consciousness found in these two works and the similarity of experiences portrayed by the writers.
