ABSTRACT Social issues have been an important concern in modern Indian literature in general and Hindi literature in particular since its beginnings in the 19th century. In recent decades, Dalit and Adivasi literature – written by author coming from a low caste and tribal background – have emerged as important Hindi genres. Dalit and Adivasis form the economically most marginalised groups in India. Their short stories, poems and essays, as well as autobiographical texts, are regularly published in important Hindi literary journals. Some samples have begun to appear in the syllabuses of educational institutions, indicating an ongoing process of mainstreaming a new voice in Hindi. Hindi literature and language are becoming more inclusive and original, and feature challenging new voices. These developments are related to wider processes of social representation, discovery of identity and educational success. The notorious social discrimination and economic marginalisation of Adivasis and Dalits continues, but literature has become an important tool of expression for them, indicating a strengthened social identity.

从边缘化到身份的重新发现：印地语文学中的达利特人和阿迪瓦西人的声音

摘要 自 19 世纪开始以来，社会问题一直是现代印度文学尤其是印地语文学中的一个重要问题。近几十年来，达利特和阿迪瓦西文学——由来自低种姓和部落背景的作者撰写——已成为重要的印地语体裁。Dalit 和 Adivasis 是印度经济上最边缘化的群体。他们的短篇小说、诗歌和散文以及自传文本定期发表在重要的印地语文学期刊上。一些样本已经开始出现在教育机构的教学大纲中，这表明印地语新声音主流化的过程正在进行中。印地语文学和语言变得更具包容性和原创性，并具有挑战性的新声音。这些发展与更广泛的社会表征、身份发现和教育成功过程有关。Adivasis 和 Dalits 臭名昭著的社会歧视和经济边缘化仍在继续，但文学已成为他们的重要表达工具，表明社会认同感得到加强。
