The present paper will explore the social condition of Dalits in India and Afro-Caribbean people in the Hispanophone Caribbean. We will see how Dalits were and are victims of caste-based discrimination and on the other hand how Afro-Caribbeans faced inhuman practices of slavery and racism. We will also see how these people have described their plight in their respective literature. If on the one hand afro-Caribbean started their literary movement in the early 20h century, on the other, Dalit literary movement started in Marathi literature in 1960s and expanded to other languages later on. Our argument will also be how the afro-Caribbean wirers have not only talked about afro-Caribbean people but have included the concerns of all marginalized people in the Caribbean but Dalit writers have been writing about their problems which restricts the readership and confines their movement to their community only.
