Abstract

Kancha Ilaih is a well-known as one of the Dalit activists. He teaches Political Science at Osmania University, Hyderabad. He is a challenging figure who advocates Dalit ideologies and challenges Brahminical supremacy. He shows in the narrative Untouchable God about upper caste’s inhuman treatment towards Dalit (Pariah boy). And their mental agonies are revealed through the literary work. Brahmins keep them as self-made superior to Dalit people. They become self-made in charge of the social system.
