Dharman. Through this analysis, the paper presents an account of the changing socio-political conditions of the Dalits in India after independence. Using the theoretical framework of narratology, the paper argues that the two very different narrative styles present in these two texts are reflective of the respective conditions within which their writers found themselves in and the larger socio- political questions that the Dalit emancipation movement was dealing with during those periods. Another aspect that the paper covers is how these two texts present the inherent conflicts and contradictions within the Dalit identity. It then asks the question whether these contradictions should be flattened to present a more homogeneous conceptualisation of what it means to be a Dalit or whether the identity should be imagined alongside these contradictions. 2022 artículo científico 2455-6580 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=703873575006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7038/703873575006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7038/703873575006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7038/703873575006/703873575006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7038/703873575006/movil https://doi.org/10.53032/tcl.2022.7.5.06 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7038 The Creative Launcher application/pdf Perception Publishing The Creative Launcher (India) Num.5 Vol.7 |
