The literature of resistance serves as a potent tool for challenging societal norms and systems of oppression, giving voice to marginalized groups. This paper explores subaltern narratives in the works of three prominent Indian writers—Bama, Sara Aboobacker, and Prathibha Ray—whose works embody the struggles of Dalit, Muslim women, and tribal communities. Through their writings, these authors resist dominant power structures by highlighting the intersecting forms of oppression related to caste, gender, and religious orthodoxy. Bama, a Dalit writer, exposes the brutal realities of caste-based discrimination and gender oppression in her autobiographical work Karukku and other narratives. Her stories reveal the resilience of Dalit women, challenging the caste system while addressing the internalized oppression within her community. Sara Aboobacker, a Kannada writer, portrays the experiences of Muslim women caught between religious orthodoxy and patriarchal societal structures. Through works like Chandragiri Teeradalli, Aboobacker critiques the ways in which religion is often used to perpetuate gender inequality, highlighting the subtle yet powerful acts of resistance employed by her female protagonists. Prathibha Ray, a writer focused on the tribal experience, explores the marginalization and resistance of indigenous communities in works like Adi Bhumi and Aranyaka. She exposes the exploitation and cultural erosion faced by tribal populations, particularly women, while celebrating their strength and agency in resisting outside forces.
