Predicament of Dalits in the Select Poems Of Meena Kandasamy

C. Shanmuga Priya
Abstract

Dalit Literature  is the writings about dalits whose primary motive is the liberation of dalits. Dalit writers have provided useful insights on the question of Dalit identity through their poems, short stories, novels and autobiographies. They have given a dignified status to the Dalits liberating them from the sub-human lot imposed on them by the Hindu social order. They use the language of the out-castes and under-privileged in Indian society, with their sharp expression. This paper explores the sensible portrayal of the predicament to the outcastes in Indian society in her select poems.
