Dalit Childhood has been discussed with all its multifarious dimensions in the Indian writings in English Translations. Childhood writing is often told from either the perspective of the child or that of an adult reflecting on their childhood. In this context, the name of the recent Indian Dalit writer Bama Faustina Soosairaj is the most important one who is an emerging twentieth century Dalit fiction writer and social activist. The present paper seeks to portray Bama`s rebellious spirit and emerging voice of Dalits in general and Dalit childhood writings in particular through an analysis of her novel Sangati (2002), where she talks about the equal rights and privileges of women in general and Dalit girls in particular based on class, gender, caste, and other issues. Exclusion and marginalization of Dalit women begins at home. The Dalit Community, like most Indian communities, favours the male child. The girl child is not welcome and becomes an easy object of discrimination. Hence this paper explores the conditions of the marginalized Dalit girl child who attempts to get liberty, equality, fraternity, and justice and finally, to lead their life with honour and dignity.
