Abstract

Baluta is a realistic and thrilling discourse about how the Dalit community faces multiple forms of marginalization. Daya Pawar’s Baluta is credited as the first Dalit autobiography in Marathi language. Traditionally, Dalits have been denied representation in Indian history and literature. The upper caste ruling classes have scripted their history by depriving them of the right to get an education. The history of the Dalits is one of brutality, hardship, marginalization, exploitation, and compromise. They are forced into ignorance by social injustice and inequality, and they are forced to live in a hostile atmosphere of estrangement and compromise that is oppressive. An eye-opening portrayal of the social, cultural, and political prejudice against Dalits can be found in Daya Pawar's current autobiography, Baluta, which has been chosen for analysis.
