In recent years, there has been a spurt in Dalit literature in India that attempts to bring to the foreground the experiences of discriminations, poverty and violence being faced by the Dalit community. This unprecedented development is a part of a growing need of the Dalits themselves to articulate their experiences which have for long been silenced and marginalized as unliterary. The present research paper is a comparative assessment of two prominent works- Mulk Raj Anand’s Untouchable and Joseph Macwan’s The Stepchild.
