The Perspective of Women in terms with Bama Karuku

Abstract:

The most noteworthy devotions of Indian English writers of narrative have been the artistic construal of the Indian society and its culture. Dalit literature as a genre was established in the 1960's and 1970's when a spurt of Dalit writing was published in Marathi and Gujarati. The growing part of subaltern writings, poems, novels and autobiographies, conversely, seeks to mend the sensation of suppression by probing the nuances of subaltern culture. Tamil Dalit writing marked its identity in the literary map of Tamilnadu, a Dalit woman nonetheless has exemplary endurance and the indomitable spirit to bounce back against all odds. Faustian Mary Alias Bama’s works are seen as embodying Dalit feminism and are famed for celebrating the inner strength of the subaltern women. Dalit women are suffering from multi-disadvantages. This paper deals with the issues of Dalit community like daily extortions of rape, sexual assaults, physical violence at the workplace, in public arena as well as violence at home. This paper portrays identity crisis in the select novels of Bama. The paper summits the pathetic real-life events and struggles.
