Dalit literature wants to make a casteless and classless society. This literature raises its voice against discrimination, tyranny, oppression, humiliation and social injustice in the name of caste, class, culture and religion. Dalit literature urges for freedom from slavery, changes in the social system, appeal for equality, quest for identity of dalits and a critical of conventions torturing them in the name of caste, tradition, culture and religion. Te caste system of Indian Hindu society has been a great obstacle in the path of the dalits. Dalits are economically moneyless and landless, socially in the lowest stratum of the society and politically powerless. Dalits are now aware of their situation and rights to live with self-respect and dignity.
