South Asian Dalit women’s writings are a new emerging phenomenon that places pertinent concerns of Dalit women on an international platform and addresses a wide range of audiences by using the English language as a medium of expression.

Imagined Ethnography and Cultural Strategies
Stuart Hall, in his 1983 lectures states, “people have to have a language to speak about where they are and what other possible futures are available to them....These futures may not be real; if you try to concretize them immediately, you may find there is nothing there.

Dalit writings are considered to be centred on the issue of identity politics. Most analysis rests on their claim of identity as fixed and static. They ignore an embedded process of various spatial implications, characters’ interaction with it, and a self-reflexive narrative gaze that most of the prominent Dalit writers present through their autobiographical narratives. Concentration on these concepts provides a fresh perspective to critically an…

Finally, this article examines the apparent continuities and discontinuities—and even the ruptures and renovations — within the system of classical music of the…
