THE POST COLONIAL STUDY OF DALIT FEMINISM AND THE REPRESENTATION OF FEMININE CONSCIOUSNESS, SENSIBILITY IN “SANGATI EVENTS” OF BAMA AND MEENA KANDASAMY’S POEMS.

Abstract

Dalit literature has begun to bring about a change; to enable non- Dalits to deconstruct a traditional mindset which made them perceive Dalits as lower than themselves; and instead to see Dalilts as equals rather than pitiful victims; to awaken the Dalit who lies asleep within conscience of all people of all castes. Here Dalit feminism plays a major role to decipher the real reason behind the long silence and it poignantly records the miseries, humiliation, and brutalities experienced by the oppressed. Dalit feminism registers a strong protest against the hierarchy of castes, race, tribe and gender and shows the value of human liberty. The spirit of rebellion resonates in this way
