India is a land of various hues and colours found in different caste, class and culture. These hues and colours can be seen portrayed in the strokes of festivals, rituals and literature. Every caste paints its distinctiveness through its literature. This literature acts like a window to understand the society and its habitants which somewhere has lost its glory. Literature becomes its pathfinder. The term ‘Dalit’ refers to backward, untouchable or underprivileged mean persons who are cut or kept disconnected from the society. Since the people from this group were largely involved in doing menial works or jobs, they eventually came to be considered out casted, poor, weak and untouchable. Being physically and socially eliminated from the society, their living conditions were quite deplorable for them. There was no way for them to raise their voice and fight for their human rights. Even after independence, there is not much change in their social conditions and living standards. Though many social reform movements did take place, but nothing substantial could work against untouchability. The discrimination and prejudice against Dalits continued. The struggles, subjugations and atrocities from high class communities against Dalits were never ending. It is largely felt that it was only literature which could rescue from from this condition.
