The term Dalit carries, within itself, a structural negativity since its inception in every sphere of life be it political, social or economic. It encapsulates the trials and tribulations of a crushed and suppressed community, which is known as the ‘Dalit community’. Dalit literature is a manifestation of the life of Dalit community, which is nothing but a painful saga of an endless suffering. Initially, it was viewed as an all-male affair, but in recent times we have seen the emergence of very powerful narratives by Dalit females. Thus, paving the way for Dalit feminist literature with a new perspective and new ideology which can be termed as ‘Dalit female standpoint’. It unravels some hidden territories of Dalit females’ lives and talks about their situation, location and experiences. Sangati, a very powerful novel written by Bama, a Dalit female writer, stands testimony to the things mentioned above as it presents the agency and audacity of the Dalit women who question their subjugation and raise a step against the biased society. Their knowledge towards the outer world gives them a new outlook and fresh perspective on life as they re-examine gender relations as fundamental to the broader ideologies of caste. The present article seeks to explore the life conditions of Dalit females as they are caught in the vortex of caste, gender and class and their grit and resolve to survive despite all odds by harping on their oppositional consciousness.

走出“差异”：辨析巴马桑加蒂的达利特女性立场

达利特这个词自出现以来就在生活的各个领域，无论是政治、社会还是经济领域，都带有结构性的消极性。它概括了一个被粉碎和压制的社区的考验和磨难，这个社区被称为“达利特社区”。达利特文学是达利特社区生活的一种体现，它不过是一场无尽苦难的痛苦传奇。最初，它被视为全男性的事件，但最近我们看到了达利特女性非常强大的叙事的出现。从而以一种新的视角和新的意识形态为达利特女性主义文学铺平了道路，可称为“达利特女性立场”。它揭示了达利特女性生活中的一些隐藏领域，并谈论了她们的处境、地点和经历。Sangati，巴马写的一部很有力量的小说，一位达利特女作家，见证了上述事情，因为它展示了达利特妇女质疑自己的征服并提出反对有偏见的社会的行动和大胆。他们对外部世界的了解使他们对生活有了新的看法和新的视角，因为他们重新审视性别关系是更广泛的种姓意识形态的基础。本文试图探讨达利特女性在种姓、性别和阶级的漩涡中的生活状况，以及她们通过挑剔自己的对立意识，不顾一切困难求生的勇气和决心。他们对外部世界的了解使他们对生活有了新的看法和新的视角，因为他们重新审视性别关系是更广泛的种姓意识形态的基础。本文试图探讨达利特女性在种姓、性别和阶级的漩涡中的生活状况，以及她们通过挑剔自己的对立意识，不顾一切困难求生的勇气和决心。他们对外部世界的了解使他们对生活有了新的看法和新的视角，因为他们重新审视性别关系是更广泛的种姓意识形态的基础。本文试图探讨达利特女性在种姓、性别和阶级的漩涡中的生活状况，以及她们通过挑剔自己的对立意识，不顾一切困难求生的勇气和决心。
