Dalit autobiographies as a genre is new and different from the other traditional autobiographies that already exist in India and other parts of the world. These autobiographies have taken up the question of dalit identity and explored the emergence of dalit literature and its aesthetics which detail both socially and historically how dalit identity has been farmed and how it has been lived out.Autobiographies have been the perfect medium for dalits in order to express themselves. Dalits remained silent for centuries. It can be said that the beginning of writing dalit autobiographies is a kind of resistance because dalits are very willing to use this opportunity to assert their identities through their autobiographies.
