Abstract
Dalit literature calls for liberation and freedom. Dalit aesthetics is built upon three major precepts – the artist, the artistic creation and the reader. Dalit writers are in quest of human dignity. They write with a vision and a cause. Dalit literature stands for humanitarianism, linguistic directness and plurality; it is a literary movement for social change; and Dalit panthers are optimistic of social reforms. The artistic creation binds the artist and the reader. The artist pours out his experience and inspiration in his artistic creation. Dalit aesthetics cannot fully rely on pleasure giving beauty and taste. The paradigm of measuring a work of art should not be only based on pleasure giving sensation but arousing a sense of social consciousness can have its own aesthetic value. Dalit women speak differently. Dalit feminism critiques mainstream feminism that excludes the theorization of caste pyramid in India. Dalit women’s writing help us to understand the different layers of caste and gender ideology that operates behind the physical and symbolic caste violence. Dalit Movement(s) in India shouts out loud against the age old caste stratification resulting in large scale cultural ragging. https://jaydeepsarangi.in/
