Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing Resistance is the first close study of the growing body of contemporary Hindi-language Dalit (low caste) literature in India. The Dalit literary movement has had an immense sociopolitical and literary impact on various Indian linguistic regions, yet few scholars have attempted to situate the form within contemporary critical frameworks. Laura R. Brueck's approach goes beyond recognizing and celebrating the subaltern speaking, emphasizing the sociopolitical perspectives and literary strategies of a range of contemporary Dalit writers working in Hindi. Brueck explores several essential questions: what makes Dalit literature Dalit? What makes it good? Why is this genre important, and where does it oppose or intersect with other bodies of Indian literature? She follows the debate among Dalit writers as they establish a specifically Dalit literary critical approach, underscoring the significance of the Dalit literary sphere as a "counterpublic" generating contemporary Dalit social and political identities. Brueck then performs close readings of contemporary Hindi Dalit literary prose narratives, focusing on the aesthetic and stylistic strategies deployed by writers whose class, gender, and geographic backgrounds shape their distinct voices. By reading Dalit literature as literature, this study unravels the complexities of its sociopolitical and identity-based origins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dalit is a Sanskrit word which means 'split from the main stream of social life'. Dalits are considered at the lowest ebb of social structure of Hinduism. In the ancient and medieval India, they were called untouchables, outcastes, panchamas and antjyas and chandals. The foreigners called them Depressed Classes, Suppressed Classes and Shri M.K. Gandhi called them 'Harijan' while Dr. B.R. Ambedar, who happened to be an untouchable himself, called them Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. They were treated worse than animals. When they became conscious and demanded for equal rights, then there was a hue and cry in India. The novels discussed in the present book have Dalits as protagonists. There is a journey of consciousness portrayed in these novels. An ignorant untouchable may like to be called as 'Harijan' but a conscious one always likes to be called as 'Dalit'. Thus the book is tale of transformation of an untouchable from Harijan to Dalit and from ignorance to diligence. Ignorance is the reason of their exploitation while diligence is the base of their progress. Soordas of Rangbhoomi is a perfect Harijan where as Mohan of Scavenger's Son proves himself to be a perfect Dalit. Bakha, Bhikhu and Kittu are on the path of consciousness. The book entitled "An Introduction to Dalit Consciousness in Indian Literature" will help the students of Dalit literature a lot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book “Perspectives on Indian Dalit Literature: Critical Responses” is a volume of twenty six scholarly articles focusing on the theme of Dalit’s freedom and emancipation from traditional caste-stigmatised society which sacrifices the interest of Dalits on the altar of tradition. The book endeavours to articulate voices among this marginalized class of people to come in action from their passivity and stillness. The book also tries to cover almost all eminent Dalit writers of past and present century like Omprakash Valmiki, Baby Kamble, Bama Faustina Soosairaj, Meena Kandasamy, Namdeo Dhasal, Sharankumar Limbale, Bhimrao Shirwale, Hira Bansode etc. along with some non-Dalit wrters like Munshi Premchand, Mulk Raj Anand, Arvind Adiga etc. who have sought plea for this marginalized class of people with same ardour and passion as other Dalit writers through their write ups. Hopefully this anthology would serve for better humanity.

Download or read book A History of Telugu Dalit Literature written by Thummapudi Bharathi and published by Gyan Publishing House. This book was released on 2008 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This History of Telugu Dalit Literature is the first book of its kind in English. It mainly focuses on the Telugu Dalit Literature produced after 1980s. Dalit writers are earnestly desirous to remove the social exploitation and caste inequalities. They wish to falsify the view that literature leaves the world as it is. They wish to change the world. Through literature they are re-examining and redefining their place in Indian society. Dalit literature primarily focuses on fundamental human rights and human values. Energized by an aggressive expression Dalit Literature protests against the established unjust and graded social order and also rejects the religious and traditional hegemony. In Andhra Pradesh, the powerful Dalit Literature originated mainly from the atrocities on Dalits in Karamchedu (1985) and Tsunduru/ Chunduru (1991). The Dalit movements sprouted when the constitutional remedies failed and social democracy unrealized. This book, it is hoped, is particularly useful for all the non-Telugu scholars and students of literature in India and other countries. The brief biographical sketches of well known as well as lesser known writers are given due space. This work is also useful for comparative studies in subaltern literatures.
Download or read book For from Reality A Critique of Dalit Consciousness in Non Dalit Writers written by Dr Kishor N Ingole and published by Amazon Digital Services LLC - Kdp. This book was released on 2023-07-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Non-Dalit writers have made enormous contributions as social reformers and scientific humanists to Indian literature in English by adding Dalit consciousness to it. These writers have presented the painful and realistic picture of the so-called Indian society on the best possible scale. As the title Far from Reality: A Critique of Dalit Consciousness in Non-Dalit Writers, the author's focus is to bring out the significant role of these writers in sensitizing the nation on the issue of Dalit consciousness. The present volume discusses deeply about Dalit consciousness, which is one particular untouched aspect, not studied comprehensively and methodically. Dalit consciousness is associated with the community. This consciousness has been aroused from confidence not from blindness. It is essentially a consciousness of revolt, revolution and change. It is a concept that appears frequently in discussion of Dalit politics and identity. Dalit consciousness is surmised in two aspects namely acceptance and rejection. It is an acceptance of the essence of being a Dalit, the philosophy of Dr. Ambedkar and setting up new social orders, whereas it is rejection of Hinduism and the existing social order based on caste
Download or read book Dalit Text written by Judith Misrahi-Barak and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, companion to the much-acclaimed Dalit Literatures in India, examines questions of aesthetics and literary representation in a wide range of Dalit literary texts. It looks at how Dalit literature, born from the struggle against social and political injustice, invokes the rich and complex legacy of oral, folk and performative traditions of marginalised voices. The essays and interviews systematically explore a range of literary forms, from autobiographies, memoirs and other testimonial narratives, to poems, novels or short stories, foregrounding the diversity of Dalit creation. Showcasing the interplay between the aesthetic and political for a genre of writing that has ‘change’ as its goal, the volume aims to make Dalit writing more accessible to a wider public, for the Dalit voices to be heard and understood. The volume also shows how the genre has revolutionised the concept of what literature is supposed to mean and define. Effervescent first-person accounts, socially militant activism and sharp critiques of a little-explored literary terrain make this essential reading for scholars and researchers of social exclusion and discrimination studies, literature (especially comparative literature), translation studies, politics, human rights and culture studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this major intervention into Indian historiography trace the strategies through which Dalits have been marginalized as well as the ways Dalit intellectuals and leaders have shaped emancipatory politics in modern India. Moving beyond the anticolonialism/nationalism binary that dominates the study of India, the contributors assess the benefits of colonial modernity and place humiliation, dignity, and spatial exclusion at the center of Indian historiography. Several essays discuss the ways Dalits used the colonial courts and legislature to gain minority rights in the early twentieth century, while others highlight Dalit activism in social and religious spheres. The contributors also examine the struggle of contemporary middle-class Dalits to reconcile their caste and class, intercaste tensions among Sikhs, and the efforts by Dalit writers to challenge dominant constructions of secular and class-based citizenship while emphasizing the ongoing destructiveness of caste identity. In recovering the long history of Dalit struggles against caste violence, exclusion, and discrimination, Dalit Studies outlines a new agenda for the study of India, enabling a significant reconsideration of many of the Indian academy's core assumptions.
