Dalit writers have provided useful insights on the question of Dalit identity through their poems, short stories, novels and autobiographies. They have given a dignified status to the Dalits liberating them from the sub-human lot imposed on them by the Hindu social order. They use the language of the out-castes and underprivileged in Indian society, with their sharp expression. This paper explores the sensible portrayal of the predicament to the outcastes in Indian society in her select poems.
