Subject: dalits and indian literature



heeyyy everybody!

i am now delurked. and in need of help. i am a grad sudent at the
university of southern california. when i'm not cavorting at the beach or
hanging out at the viper room, i work on my dissertation project on the
representation of dalits and other subAltern castes/classes in indian
literature of the independence movement. when i say i work on this
project, i mean you understand that i think about it vaguely while
watching t.v.

but i make too many excuses, i should get to the point.

i need help in generating a substantive reading list.i already have a
fairly (bad word) large number of secondary texts - mostly pillaged
>from gail omvedt and the subaltern studies collections' bibliographies;
what i really need are texts of literary criticism around these issues.
they don't really need to address subaltern/dalit issues - anything that
undertakes a political reading of indian literature is fine.

any help will be appreciated. response number 19 will win a surprise prize


thanks,

arnab chakladar
