Bama, the Tamil writer, is the face of Indian Dalit feminism. She exposes caste discrimination practised in religion both in Christianity and Hinduism. Her novels, especially Karukku and Sangati, embody Dalit feminism, strongly urging women not to take things ‘lying down’. Her fiction celebrates the inner strength and resilience of the subaltern women. The present volume makes a rich contribution to the corpus of Subaltern Literature and Women’s Studies.
