Mahasweta Devi: The Voice of Dalits and Tribal People

Abstract

Writing is a mirror that reflects social recorded, financial and political occasions refracted through nonexistent or anecdotal domains of public sayings. Strangely, in such accounts, writing additionally mirrors the irregular characteristics or complexities that exist in social as well as individual connections. Like many other European writers, Indians also have launched a war against such political, social and economic exploitations of the oppressors. As people know that women are more kind enough by heart, that’s why they have explored the various social evils and maladies that are continuously ruining the lives of the marginalized people in the form of caste, creed and religion. Apart from writing about feminism and gender discrimination, they have also dealt with the other grave issues that destroy the lives of these marginalized outcastes. Their works reveal the true picture of the contemporary society where innocence is exploited through the corrupted ideas of human beings in this man-made society. The present research paper has tried to explore the plight of Dalits and Tribals in the works of Mahasweta Devi, one of the great marginal voices in Indian English Literature.
