Abstract: Nearly all of Byapari’s books denounce caste, the upper castes and their efforts at propagating discrimination, and communalism in the strongest of terms. Yet, they do not seem repetitive, primarily because of his strong and forthright prose. Also, the fact that his writings are derived from his life as a refugee from East Bengal, a rickshaw-puller on the streets of Kolkata, and his predicament as a Dalit. Uncensored fictional accounts of those living at the intersection of caste discrimination and poverty often evade mainstream English literature, the production of which, through lineage and dominance, is predominantly an upper- caste, upper-class phenomenon in India. In the book, Byapari has an alter ego named Jeeban. He is the runaway boy through whom Byapari narrates his own wandering life, when he is repeatedly abused, beaten, cheated and exploited, a technique that perhaps allows Byapari “the distance required articulating misery”. In this loosely autobiographical novel, Byapari has woven his life story into a work of fiction. While Chandal Jibon is the protagonist’s caste and first name respectively, the words also mean “life of the Chandal”, and this individual tale maps the destiny of an entire community.

Key words: Chandal, Marginalized, Jeeban. Naxalites, Kolkata.
