Main Article Content

Abstract

Subaltern voices have always been given an important position in Indian literature because they provide a variety of viewpoints that question prevailing narratives and bring light on the realities of oppressed groups. These voices, which often include the tales of lower castes, indigenous people, women, and other members of oppressed groups, have found expression in a wide variety of literary works. These works may be found in every imaginable form. In order to provide a more holistic understanding of the nation's history and culture, Indian literature has served as a forum in which writers from subaltern groups have been able to discuss their own experiences, challenges, and goals. These authors have given voice to the lived realities they have experienced via the mediums of fiction, poetry, and essays, tackling topics such as prejudice, social injustice, and identity. Their works not only contribute to a more comprehensive literary landscape, but they also serve as a catalyst for social change and awareness, encouraging readers to confront and question preexisting hierarchies. This is because their works address a wide range of topics, from politics to religion to sexuality. By welcoming the perspectives of subaltern groups, Indian literature has continued to develop into a space that is both dynamic and reflective. Within this space, a diversity of life experiences is acknowledged and celebrated, which contributes to the overall enrichment of the nation's narrative tapestry
