AN ANALYTICAL NARRATIVE: P. SIVAKAMI’S NARRATIVES OF CASTE, GENDER, AND RESISTANCE

DIKSHA RATHORE

Abstract

The paper deals with the portrayal of caste and gender oppression in P. Sivakami’s The Grip of Change and The Taming of Women from the point of view of Dalit feminism. Sivakami, one of the leading voices in the contemporary Dalit literature, exposes the intersecting structures of caste, patriarchy, class and political power that influence the lives of Dalit women. The study through a comparative textual analysis explores the portrayal of multidimensional nature of oppression in both the novels, highlighting issues like caste-based discrimination, sexual violence, economic exploitation, domestic subjugation and denial of social justice. The study through a comparative textual analysis explores the portrayal of multidimensional nature of oppression in both the novels, highlighting issues like caste-based discrimination, sexual violence, economic exploitation, domestic subjugation and denial of social justice.
