Indian literary rays on the varied shades in prism of marginality

Abstract

The present paper “Indian literary rays on the varied shades in prism of marginality” deals with the study that the marginalized hold peripheral positions in the society as they are excluded from accessing equal power in the society. They are excluded thanks to their social attributes such as race, caste, gender, economy or religion. The term has different connotations and shades in the modern era to which I have searched out thoroughly in the major Indian writings. In spite of being a very controversial term, Indian literary writings have attempted to make well the injuries of the marginalized peoples by attacking on the nexus between criminals and government. The main focus is on what the various shades of systematic marginality are; how they are perceived, constructed and deconstructed for the personal pelf and profit of the privileged class; how the marginalized groups are subjected to economic and social hardships; how the sufferings of and atrocities committed upon the underdogs are realistically painted for amelioration within the social set up securing a brighter future to the marginalized classes; how the heuristic value of the notion of marginality can work for melioration or rehabilitation
