“Juthan Aur Dalit Sahitya” is a powerful critical exploration of Dalit identity, oppression, and resistance in India through the lens of Omprakash Valmiki’s landmark autobiography, Juthan. Co-authored by Jyoti Sharma and Dr. Om Prakash Narayan Diwedi, this work bridges literature and lived experience, unpacking the deeply entrenched systems of caste-based violence and exclusion that persist even decades after India's independence.The book explores the systemic atrocities—from massacres and rapes to public humiliation and marginalization—that Dalits have endured for generations. It emphasizes how Dalit autobiographies are not just personal stories, but mirror the collective trauma and resistance of an entire community.Structured into three insightful chapters, the book introduces Omprakash Valmiki and Juthan, dives into the theoretical perspectives of Dalit literature, and concludes with an in-depth literary and contextual analysis of the autobiography. This book is not just academic—it is a clarion call for change, social awareness, and literary justice.Published by Rigi Publication, this 70-page volume is essential reading for students, researchers, human rights advocates, and anyone seeking to understand the real India beyond sanitized narratives.
