Abstract

It has been the nature of human beings that if they face any tyranny and atrocity from the other human beings or prevailing government, they candidly opposes it for their survival sake and maintenance of identity. There is a limit to resist the oppression and when the humiliation reaches at its zenith, the resistance diminishes and evolves in the form of protest or disapproval against the barbarism. The above lines express the same slogans and intensions of revolt and protest against the prevailing hegemony. The lower class people fed up with this dehumanization have thus decided to generate a dispute for the restoration of their real identity which they used to have. Reconstruction of identity means snatching of freedom, rights and justice from the hands of upper classes. It became a dream for the subalterns to upgrade their identity that has been trampled by dominant class. Dalits claim themselves to be the aboriginals of India and their real identity has been ossified to another category named ‘Dalits’ by the dominant classes. Thus for the resurrection of their real and authentic identity, they bluntly engaged themselves in revolts and protests. The present paper throws light upon the innumerable endeavors taken by Dalits for the recreation of their identity in the society of barbarians.
