Interminable history of exclusion and marginalization characterize most of the Dalit communities in India and the predicament of their lives remains the same till now. Amid the developments, technological advancements and the growth of economy, the ethnic/ minorities in India have not regenerated from the rubric of hierarchical practices and caste prejudices. The perils of being a Dalit in the socio-political-economic condition of India remain a great risk and challenge even in the 21st century. Various Dalit leaders, activists, thinkers and philosophers through their persuasive movements and protests in the history of India have championed the course of Dalit issues by creating a valuable presence and recognition for Dalits. The opening juncture of Dalit literature can be traced back to Marathi language and its repercussions perceptible in other literatures in the subsequent years. By placing it outside the mainstream literary canon, Dalit literature emerged as a source of authentic and reliable experiences. Dalit writers commenced to voice their own experiences and the struggles meted out in their lifetime in their works. A contemporary presence, G. Kalyana Rao is the most acclaimed Telegu novelist, short story writer, playwright and human rights activist known famously for his work Untouchable Spring. Vibrant member of the group ‘Virasam’, Viplava Rachayitala Sangham, his writings are intricately woven in the historiography of a place with its culture, arts and traditions co-mingled with one another. Kalyana Rao’s Untouchable Spring unravels the struggles and agonies of the Dalit communities and Rao has effectively articulated his concerns surrounding caste consciousness and gender vantage points in the novel. This paper intends to examine how caste identity renderings and the subaltern narratives vocalize in this novel by approaching the text as a memory narrative.
