Title

Identity crisis in Dalit literature: A study of K A Gunasekaran’s The Scar

Abstract

The scar (vadu) is the modern Dalit autobiography written by K A Gunasekaran and translated by V Kadambari. This work deals with how the identity of Dalits is oppressed by the other communities. It explores the caste system, discrimination, and exploitation which isolates the Dalit people from our society. It focuses on the pain and sufferings of Dalits by the Hindu caste system and their conversion of religion to gain their identity. Furthermore, It shows the position of Dalit women and their sufferings in the community. Author Gunasekaran shows his experience as a parayar boy among other communities, which made him question his identity. This paper deals with the identity problems faced by the Dalits and how it affects the psychology of a man. Gunasekaran was influenced by B R Ambedkar's views on the philosophy of education, which can help the Dalits to struggle against discrimination and identity issues.
