Abstract
The present study of Premanand Gajvee’s A SIP OF WATER identifies the multiplicity of issues and challenges faced by Dalits in accessing water from common sources. On account of their social exclusion, Dalits suffer from physical as well as mental anguish. Discrimination against the Dalits is rampant on account of untouchability and physical abuse. Representative of Gajvee’s social concerns and caste preoccupations, this play is a scathing indictment of the inequalities that continue to prevail within the Hindu religion and Indian society. This paper also shows how the Dalits are used as just mere tools for the upper caste people’s political agenda as presented in this one-act play and, in the movie, ARTICLE 15.
