Abstract:
All published accounts of the emergence and development of Dalit Literature in the Nepali language present Jawahar Roka and TR Bishwakarma as its first writers. In my presentation I will explore the circumstances in which they were able to acquire this status; ask whether ‘Dalit Literature’ should be taken to begin only with the publication of conventional written texts; and consider the position of the Dalit intellectual under the early Panchayat regime.
