Abstract: This paper argues that the misrepresentation of Dalit causes persists, with damaging social consequences stemming from false portrayals of Dalit identity. It also explores why caste distinctions endure even without a traditional caste system within modern democratic discourse. Yashica Dutt’s memoir blends political narratives with personal experiences, serving as a powerful social commentary. Through extensively researched arguments, she sheds light on the misrepresented identities of Dalits across various aspects of life. Her work not only exposes the daily indignities and violence faced by Dalits but also calls readers to confront caste-based injustices. Dutt’s “Coming Out as a Dalit” is a compelling personal narrative and a rallying cry against systemic caste discrimination. Through her narrative, she confronts the lack of visibility for Dalit identities and emphasizes resilience, empowerment, and the ongoing struggle for social justice. Her memoir weaves together these intersecting threads, emphasizing that identity is multifaceted. By addressing intersectionality, she invites readers to recognize the interconnected nature of oppression and advocate for a more inclusive society. “Coming Out as a Dalit” is a powerful exploration of identity, resilience, and the need for authentic representation in a society marked by caste divisions.
