About the Book

The publications of Dalit writers have, for at least 20  years, posed a major challenge to the way mainstream  literature has been positioned and perceived. In this setting, a  collection of short fiction such as this, exclusively by  Tamil Dalit writers, raises a strong regional voice against the  discrimination and graded inequality unique to caste-bound India. With an Introduction from P Sivakami, the distinguished Dalit  writer and activist, this anthology of short stories from 14 writers  feeds into the flow of influences that both shape  and change the language and poetics.
