Abstract:

This paper examines how Omprakash Valmiki’s Joothan depicts the peril of Dalits in Indian society. How did it become a part of Indian culture? I also tried to focus on how Dalit literature creates a unique status which becomes a response to established literary critics. Dalit society has been imprisoned for a thousand years in the dark mist of ignorance, deprived of knowledge. Dalit literature is the portrayal of the wishes and aspirations of these oppressed and tormented Dalits. Valmiki’s Joothan portrays the traumatized minds of Dalits and identity crisis in Indian society through his memory.

Keywords:

Dalit Literature, Trauma Studies, Identity Crisis, Memories and Memoirs
