Bama from karukku and Sethe from beloved comparative analysis with the lens of intersectionality

This paper compares two strong women Bama from Karukku and Sethe from Beloved and shows how they deal with different forms of oppression. Bama is a Dalit woman from India who faces caste and gender discrimination. Sethe is a Black woman in America who suffers from slavery and racism. Bama and Sethe are treated badly because of they are, and their struggles are shaped by more than one problem like race, caste, gender, and class. This idea is called intersectionality, which means looking at how different types of discrimination come together and affect a person’s life. The paper shows how Bama and Sethe fight back in their own ways. Sethe uses her strength as a mother to survive slavery, while Bama uses education and writing to fight caste discrimination. Even though they live in very different places and times, their stories show that marginalised women face complex challenges, but also have the power to resist and bring change.
