Abstract
Bama’s Sangati is a unique work that delves into the consequences of multiple discriminations suffered by Dalit Christian women, without having clear narrative or protagonist. The present research paper does a thorough analysis of the novel in order to identify instances of prejudice that result in women being marginalized and subjugated. It is believed that women are the most marginalized group and Dalit women face triple oppression. These women face traumatizing treatment at every turn in their difficult lives. Initially, they face discrimination due to their caste and lower position than men. Afterward, they face exploitation by male family members inside their own society. They are reduced to the position of domestic helpers during the harsh daylight hours and transformed into objects of sex during the night. Women are routinely treated as lesser animals- meant only objects of male gratification and subjugation and are branded as illegitimate. Men have the natural right to take advantage of, mistreat and even kill women. This includes setting them on fire. With the novel, the paper explores these deep topics, illuminating the widespread discrimination that results in Dalit Christian women’s misery and disempowerment.
