About This Book

A summary of untouchable poetry would entail a discussion of the several topics and ideas that are typical of this genre.Identity and Marginalization: Untouchable poetry addresses the difficult issues of how identities are formed in response to marginalization and prejudice based on caste. The poets consistently depict social exclusion experiences and the struggles they faced to maintain their humanity and dignity. Social Injustice and Oppression: Untouchable poets, in fact, raise powerful and audible voices in opposition to the atrocities and social injustices that continue to be meted out to them, including caste violence and untouchability, in addition to being denied access to desirable jobs and education in society at large. Their poetry is a powerful cry for social fairness and reform.Untouchable poets typically use this technique to attack the dominant cultural norms and traditions that uphold caste-based inequalities and discriminatory practices. Additionally, he will present counterculture and alternative discourses that highlight the perspective and voice of the underprivileged. Since untouchable poetry offers voice to a community that has been marginalized and silenced due to opposition from the ruling class and established structures, it is generally seen as their resistance literature.
