Abstract
Part I of Concealing Caste: Passing and Personhood in Dalit Literature contains short stories by Dalit authors addressing the theme of hidden identity. The second of these is Omprakash Valmiki’s ‘Dread’ (Bhay), published in 2000 and translated from Hindi by Joel Lee. The story is set first in a Valmiki basti of Dehradun and later in a residential colony for middle-class government employees elsewhere in the city. Traversing these spaces that correspond to his family’s past and present, the central character Dinesh attempts to meet his mother’s demands to maintain a Dalit ritual tradition, demands that threaten to upend his carefully constructed life.
