Dalit Bildungsroman: A Modernist Perspective into the Poetics of Self in Jhoothan

This paper analyses the incompetency of Indian philosophy of ‘Absoluteness’ and Western genre of classical Bildungsroman to analyse process of self-formation in an odyssey of a Dalit. The modern contemporary era negotiates post-colonial and postmodern approach to provide a heuristic view to the subjected self of a Dalit. The modernist approach takes Dissensual Bildungsroman in consideration. Om Prakash Valmiki’s Jhoothan narrates an experience of a subjugated and unheard voice and his journey of self-acculturation. The paper pre-eminently concerns for unique and experimented form of self which can provide a tantamount status to the pariah community and their culture compared with elite Hindu community and among its wide range of readers and audience.
