OMPRAKASH VALMIKI'S JOOTHON : A REMARKABLE RECORD OF A RARE INDIAN JOURNEY

Omprakash Valmiki, a famous Indian writer, has shown how the so-called "upper caste" in India dominates and suppresses the populace. This study focuses on how the upper caste controls the scheduled caste by many machinery such as tradition, law, religion, culture, and language of the dominant group of people, who are truly in power. In his work Joothan, the author defines a character from the family of minorities, labourers, and peasants. Omprakash, the protagonist, is forced to seed sugarcane on Fauz Sing's land regardless of the fact that his examination is arriving. There are several evidences to support his muteness, which adds to his subaltern status. Dalit writing has made social equality and political involvement a literary theme, completing the unfinished task of economic equality. Man cannot attain total equality without achieving equality on these three concerns. This impeccable equality is fought for in Dalit literature.
