摘要：A Dalit is always ‘afraid’ in public space and full of ‘anger’ in private space. A Dalit(wo)man is thus always polarized between two extreme feelings – ‘to be vanished in shame in thepresence of upper caste people’ or ‘to burst into anger and destroy everything when that shameis ‘recollected in tranquility.’ This ‘terrorized syndrome’ is the natural outcome of theatmosphere of violence that always surrounds a Dalit. Material violence as well aspsychological violence. Frantz Fanon in his The Wretched of the Earth (1961) deeplyconcentrates on the forms of resistance towards these violences. Frantz Fanon and B.R.Ambedkar have tremendous similarities in their insights and concepts of liberty, selfhood,humanism, equality and nationalism. Both of them voiced for the empowerment of the marginals.Both believed that revolutionary resistance is ultimately a humanistic project encompassing allpeople. Omprakash Valmiki’s Joothan: A Dalit’s Life (2007) is a personal narrative vis-à-vis acommunity writing registering the Dalit resistance towards the exclusionary culture of savarnahegemony as well as Sanskritization. The narrative also shows how savarna people haveorganized counter-resistance to Dalit Resistance and forcing the ongoing Dalitization tosubsidence.
