Caste Turbulence in Dalit Literature: Rise of Dalit Feminism
<p>'Dalit feminism,' also known as women's discourse in literature,<br>is the class that stands for itself within itself, because of its socio<br>political and economic context, Dalit feminism has fallen<br>behind. This class, on the one hand, distinguishes itself from<br>feminism, while on the other, separates Dalit women's thinking<br>from Dalit thought, because they considered that within this<br>whole idea of feminism, they were labelled as second-class<br>citizens due to their so-called caste. And their problems have<br>come to the fore here in a secondary role. Freedom from Dalit<br>patriarchy was another motivation to support Dalit feminism.<br>Dalit leaders, or Dalit discourse leaders, were men who<br>provided central expression to this ideology.Even while women<br>in marginalised societies had the right to some level of decisionmaking and the ability to protest, they were harassed at home<br>because the patriarchal system existed not only among<br>Brahmins but also among Dalits.This study examines how Dalit<br>women are the most exploited, as well as how their experiences<br>are crucial in comprehending the triple oppression of women.</p>
