Dalit, Dalit Literature Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Dalit, Dalit literature,
The literature of the Dalits
By the Dalits or other than
Representing,
Of the Dalits, for the Dalits, by the Dalits
Writing their own history,
Their experiences,
Thoughts and ideas,
Memoirs and recollections
In novels, stories, essays, notes,
diaries, anecdotes, sketches, poems
Literature, the literature of Dalits,
The Dalits
Telling about the compulsions of this life,
Narrating untouchability
In a diverse multi-ethnic, racial and linguistic society
Of variations,
The rigidity of the caste system,
Economic ad social disparity,
But which is whose guilt,
Who can but say it
As we were poor, undeveloped and uneducated?
