Anti-caste Literature

Anti-caste literature encompasses works that challenge and critique the caste system, particularly in India, which has historically marginalized certain communities. This genre highlights issues of social injustice, discrimination, and inequality faced by those in lower castes, known as Dalits. Authors use personal narratives, poetry, and essays to raise awareness, advocate for rights, and promote social change. Notable figures include B.R. Ambedkar and contemporary writers like Arundhati Roy. This literature plays a crucial role in empowering oppressed voices and fostering discussions about caste, identity, and human rights in society.
