Abstract

Dalit literature flourished being the mainstream in Indian context with the successful translation of Marathi Dalit writings. The term Dalit first used at the first conference of Maharashtra Dalit Sahitya Sangh. Dalit literature which was emerged in 1960s was the literature of downtrodden backward and disgraced people who were ignored or embellished the expert in upper-class society. they were subjugated by such people since a long time. Around 1960 the Dalit Panthers revisited and embrace the idea of Babasaheb. They Expressed there is basement to the Gandhian philosophy of Indian nationalism to start a new social movement.

Focusing the importance of Dalit literature Arundhati Roy has observed “I do believe that in India be practice a form of apartheid, which goes an unnoticed by the rest of the world.” The contemporary Indian literature had an amazing specialty to overlook the real brutality and ugliness of the society in which we were living. Even after more than seventy years of independent India untouchability is still prevailed in the society.

There is hardly any change can be seen in the condition of such communities and segregation in schools and colleges and other places. I am sharing access to education for marginalized subaltern of India has been the greatest challenges for Indian government. There has been the number of reasons that's why Dalit community suffers from low rates of literary and basic education. These people have a long experienced and consistent denial to education since 1980s.
