This study explores how Dalits have used literature as a means of protest against caste oppression. Including fresh ethnographic research and interview, it traces the trajectory of modern Dalit writing and its pivotal role in the creation, rise and reinforcement of a distinctive Dalit identity. The book challenges the existing impression of Dalit literature as stemming from the dalit political assertion of the 1980s and as being chiefly imitative of the Marathi Dalit literature model.
