Abstract

In recent years, principally as a result of the questions raised by Dalit literary movements, there has been considerably more interest from readers as well as critics in what has been termed Dalit literature As a result, scholars have returned to history to locate writers who have been dismissed and overlooked, retrieving them for fresh discussion. My paper is a brief discussion of Bama's book focusing on its critical account of Christianity. I discuss how she depicts her childhood experiences and Christianity, which are seriously assessed in this study. Here, her childhood as a Dalit girl and her youth as a Dalit Christian searching for equality, reality and justice for her community within the Catholic Christian fold, are studied in detail.
