For centuries Untouchables were treated inhumanly and worse than animals, by Savarna Hindus. Several movements were made to fight against caste injustices. But it was Dr. Ambedkar who made them realize that they too are human beings like all other upper caste people. Taking inspiration from Dr. Ambedkar’s works and words a new literate generation of untouchables started writing poems, stories, and autobiographies. This writing was a new movement in contemporary Marathi literature in Maharashtra, its motto was not art for art’s sake instead it was art for life’s sake. This literature is referred as Dalit literature and sometime Ambedkarite literature. Dalit writers realistically portrayed the caste system and untouchability as being soul cause of discrimination in their writing. The scope of Dalit literature is vast. For the sake of convenience for the present paper, the genre of autobiography is taken in which we could find a full sketch of life, and from vast Dalit autobiographies two Dalit autobiographies are selected. These are Daya Pawar’s Baluta and Sharankumar Limbale’s The Outcaste, which was originally titled Akkarmashi. Both narratives delineate caste injustices and atrocities on the Mahar community. Both autobiographies were primarily written in the Marathi language and later on they were translated into many other Indian and foreign languages. In 2015 Jerry Pinto translated Baluta into the English language with the same title. While Sharankumar Limbale’s work Akkarmashi is translated into English by Santosh Bhoomkar in 2003.
