Excruciating Reparation and Justice: A Study of
Sharankumar Limbale’s The Outcaste

M. Hamsalatha, M.A., M.Phil.


Abstract

Dalit literature is a representation of life which is both individual and society oriented. It is based on life experience. Authenticity and liveliness have become the hallmark of Dalit literature. The Outcaste describes the anguish and charade of the cultural tumult that opened up Marathi literature to Dalit writing. Sharankumar neither belongs to Mahar community nor Mahar caste, he is outcaste. Due to his identity, the narrator suffers his entire life and at the same time he has no identity, no home or place of belonging. The clouds of doubt and identity fall over his entire life.

Keywords: Sharankumar Limbale, Dalit Literature, Autobiography, Testimonial, Caste, Community, Trauma

Dalit Literature

“The anguish of Dalit literature is not that of an individual but of the entire outcast society” (Towards an Aesthetic of Dalit Literature 31). Dalit literature is the forum and the medium of expression of the experiences of the communities that have been ostracized, marginalised, exploited and humiliated for ages in the Indian caste-ridden Hindu society. In many ways, it is a protest literature which faithfully mirrors the stark realities of the Dalit situation and becomes an important weapon to strengthen the Dalit movement.
