The literature of marginalized communities has long served as a powerful medium to voice the struggles, aspirations, and lived experiences of those relegated to the fringes of society. Among the prominent voices in Indian Dalit literature, Baby Kamble and Urmila Pawar stand out for their poignant portrayal of the weaker sections, particularly women and Dalits. Baby Kamble’s The Prisons We Broke (2008) and Urmila Pawar’s The Weave of My Life (2008) are seminal works that delve into the intersectionality of caste, gender, and class, offering a nuanced understanding of the systemic oppression faced by Dalit women. This paper seeks to explore how these authors represent the weaker sections in their novels, focusing on their narrative strategies, thematic concerns, and the socio-political implications of their works. By analyzing these texts, the study aims to contribute to the broader discourse on Dalit literature and its role in challenging dominant narratives.
