| Abstract | ||
The present paper proposes to highlight the experiences encountered by Dalit women in an Indian patriarchal society. The Prison We Broke (2008) by Kamble is the English translation of “JinaAmacha”(1985) by Dr.Maya Pandit from the Mahar community of Maharashtra. The treatment of dalit women in an Indian patriarchal society is very different and multi dimensional. The paper explores the representation of women in Indian Dalit writing which is weighed with double subjugation: caste and patriarchy. Dalit women, therefore, has to face Brahmanic as well as Dalit patriarchy. They face the worst type of atrocities like rap ing, physical assault, murder etc. |
