Representative Politics And Dalit Literature: A Comparative Study On Bama And Chandramohan

Abstract

Literature is a prominent tool which perennially fosters social transformation. Literature and society in this way are intrinsically linked together and weaves a bond-literature affect society and society affects literature. For instance the preaching of Buddha and Jesus has weaved a cocoon of new identity in the age of orthodoxy and it has questioned the perennially accepted customs and traditions and still we have Jatakkas and Bible as forms of literature which designs the social structure. Sometimes literature is questioned by society and vice versa for which neither give answers. The literature of the marginalized creates such space which tries to embody an identity of encapsuled life in the myriad nuances of social structure. The present study is a comparative analysis of two Dalit writers—Bama and Chandramohan. This is an endeavor to show how they miniature the macrocosm of the Indian society in their works.
