In the traditionally contrived caste system or caste echelon the life of Dalit people is wretched because, they are consider as untouchables and are subjected to bestiality, vehemence and dehumanization. Particularly asserting about Dalit Women who are oppressed among oppressed, their lifes are thrice sombre. Women are always consider to be marginalized gender, but when it comes to Dalit women they are placed at the bottom of the caste edifice where they are been thrice marginalized and exploited on basis of caste, gender and class.
The term marginalization means to propel an individual or a group at the brim, give them lesser importance and also exclude them from all their virtues. According to the Varna System a Hinduism the society is divided into four Varna’s or Castes on basis of their birth, aptitude and vocation .Where it is firmly believed that Brahman was born form the mouth of the creator, whereas Sudra was born from the feet of the creator as said in “Purushasukta” and so Sudra becomes of lower rank in caste hierarchy and this is the reason why Dalits are always consider to be a marginalized caste in India. Due to this vicious caste system folks belonging to the lower caste are been deprived from all prerequisites of life and they are also been callously brutalized.
On the contrary, Dalit women faces immoderate quandaries of themselves from last so many centuries, which till today even in this contemporary world has not completely remould. Dalit women to some extent moieties the muddles of the gender exploitation and economic destitution with other women but unfortunately the Dalit women also have to bear caste differentiation which other women’s never faces. Dalit women have to undergo treble depreciation due to caste, gender and class and this thrice marginalization creates the vital problem for Dalit women, it becomes formidable for them to prevail over this marginalization. They also have to suffer from caste based segregation and atrocities. Dalit women are harassed due to their lower caste where upper caste male can sexually assault Dalit women. Whenever there is conflict among the upper and lower castes. Dalit women’s always becomes the victim as they are facile prey.
Dalit women are not only subjugated because of their caste identity but also because of their gender. Under patriarchy this women’s faces the violence in their own community. Dalit women are brought to demean by her own family especially by the men of the household who due to their subdued status shed their vexation on this women. Dalit women also have to suffer because of their class as they are been denied of all the equities and property rights. They remain aloof from all the assets and affluence they are denied from their rights not only because they are women but predominantly as they are lower caste women.
The struggles and sufferings of Dalit women was consistently over sighted by mainstream male dominated literature which also include mainstream feminist writers. To some extremity they were also been evaded by Dalit men writers. So, Dalit women writers by themselves started articulating their own as well as other Dalit women experiences. Where they also converse about marginalization, aboutgender configuration and also questioned casteism. Notably in Bama's and UrmilaPawar's autobiographies they not only share their toils to conjure their idiosyncratic mishaps but specifically pivot on thrice marginalization of Dalit women in India.
