The narratives of Dalit women, often relegated to the peripheries of mainstream discourse, encapsulate the intersecting layers of oppression based on caste, class, and gender. Bela Malik's presentation of how the Convention against Untouchability and the Oppression of Dalit Women helps to understand the unceasing struggles of the Dalit community, while G. Vinutha's critique of domestic violence against Dalit women depicts how the situation has worsened with time. Besides Dr S. Gopinath's introduction of Dalit literature, she points out how literature can be a powerful instrument to combat discriminatory and ill-constructed society. This report aims to shed light on the multidimensional experiences of Dalit women, considering the pain they endured during their struggle over the reform and change systems.
[...] The critical review from Vinutha G examines the endemic violence against Dalit women, caused in part by the women's situation at the bottom of the social structure. Rekha Vinutha stresses that Dalit women are overwhelmingly worse off than women from the dominant caste group, as rape rates and their level of participation in the economy attest to the same.

[...] Vinutha's tone is critically and reflectively rendering the systemic aspects that enhance violence against Dalit women in domestic situations. Dr. S. Gopinath has attempted to combine historiography and literary criticism to strike that fortunate balance that will make the overview of Dalit literature more meaningful, and readers can get a better knowledge about the role played by Dalit writings as a cultural symbol. Style of writing is a tool used by authors in order to both get a grip on the readers on the emotional and intellectual level and to make them think about the unspeakable things about the social caste system and violence in Indian society.
