Abstract
Bama’s Karukku is a landmark in Dalit literature, offering a poignant and unflinching look at the brutal realities of caste discrimination in India. Published in 1992, the autobiographical novel exposes the deep-seated prejudices and systemic injustices that Dalits endure. Through her narrative, Bama sheds light on the intersectionality of caste and gender, while also emphasizing education and resilience as pathways to liberation.
