This study examines the lived experiences of suffering among low caste Mahar women, who endure systemic oppression imposed by the dominant patriarchal ideology embedded within Brahminism. Baby Kamble critically engages with the humanitarian tendency to overlook social inequality and agony, exhibiting deep sensitivity to the struggles faced by Dalit women. Kamble’s exploration of the psyche of Mahar women emphasizes collective solidarity and Dalit femininity over individual suffering. As a writer, she acknowledges her primary responsibility to advocate for women's emancipation and the eradication of untouchability. Through her work, Kamble effectively portrays the wounded selves of Mahar women and their resilience. Employing Paik’s theory of Incremental Intersecting Technologies analyzing caste, class, gender, sexuality, and agency this paper explores how the caste system has been critically examined and how intersectional perspectives on Dalit women have evolved over the past two decades.
