Ambedkar in Contemporary Hindi Literature

Abhay Dubey examines the treatment of Babasaheb Ambedkar in contemporary Hindi literature by Dalit and non- Dalit writers, who seek social emancipation through the Dalit cause. The post is didactic in places, but sheds light on a pertinent theme.

In a remarkable episode of his (soon to be published) novel, Chakravyuha Ke Bahar, Ambedkar himself appears glowing in his full modern regalia. In a typically representative scene of Hindi’s mixed (dalits and non-dalit) intellectual gathering, which is in fact conceived as a dream sequence, Baba Saheb stuns everybody by his mere presence. He does not speak any thing of note, and is suggestively shown distributing sweets to children after disregarding the feuding dalit intellectuals.
