The book, primarily conceived as the pioneering academic/textbook on Dalit plays, attempts to anthologise three Marathi Dalit plays in English translation. Alongside the translated texts, the addition of the translators’ notes on the texts and the playwrights augments a critical dimension to the book.
This anthology offers a collection of three appealing plays, written by Dalit playwrights, that explore the politics of caste discrimination through intense plots, captivating dialogues, and remarkable characterisations. While exposing the ground reality of the Indian caste system with historical reference, the playwrights give an insight into the dynamics of caste in the contemporary socio-political backdrop. With their thematic diversities, the plays are directed towards a singular goal: the annihilation of caste-based hierarchies to bring in social parity. The plays included in this volume were originally written in Marathi and translated into English. Challenging the stereotyped epistemological assumptions, the anthology prepares the readers for discussions of the aesthetics of Dalit plays and their performances, exploring various ontological issues surrounding the genre.
