Delineation of Women in the Selected Memoirs of Dalit Writers | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

ABSTRACT

Many Dalit authors discuss their personal experiences of exploitation and marginalisation as well as those of the women they write about. Women's issues dominate neglected literary works. The social reformation movements led by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, Mahatma Phuley, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, and Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj encouraged other social philosophers and Dalit writers in India to write on the social challenges affecting Dalit women in particular and Indian women in general. The memoirs The Weave of My Life by Urmila Pawar, The Prison We Broke by Baby Kamble, Outcaste: A Memoir by Narendra Jadhav depicts the life of the woman character in the Dalit community. The Dalit woman stand as marginalized among their own communities as being outcaste and weaker gender at an equivalent time.
