Abstract
Dalit and subaltern literature have gained colossal space in the global academic community. This literature is prominently studied, analyzed and used in literary, cultural or linguistic studies in national and international universities. The use of literary texts such as autobiographical narratives in social work teaching, research and practice is a less researched area. In this article, the author has highlighted the importance of Dalit autobiographies and how they could be used as an indigenous knowledge source in social work teaching and practice to strengthen anti-caste/anti-oppressive perspectives among social work educators, students and practitioners. This emancipatory framework could also help to address the structural as well as micro-macro level issues to ensure the realization of social justice and human rights as a foundation and core principles of the social work profession.
