- Аннотация: Dalit Sahitya – Literature of Oppressed – is one of the important literary schools of Contemporary Indian Literature. Originated in Maharashtra in the 1980-s (Marathi poet Namdeo Dhansal) literature of Dalits widely spread all over India and is very popular. As a rule, it describes and vividly shows social discrimination, violence against Dalits, very negative, awful circumstances in which millions of “Untouchables” live in India, in spite of equal civil rights guaranteed by Constitution of India and their struggle for social equality. The main genre of Dalit Literature is Autobiography, in which their terrible life, tragic, full of humiliation, is described. Such narratives are often studied as Trauma Literature. The aim of the paper is to consider the place of this genre in Hindi literature and concentrate on analyses of the Autobiography by Prof. of JNU, Delhi Tulsiram, who was a Buddhist Scholar, also specialized on international, focused on Russia, studies. Prof. Tulsiram died in 2015, he could not complete his autobiographical trilogy. Its two published volumes -“Murdahiya” and “Manikaarnika” are compared here with “Joothan” by Omprakash Valmiki. The both writers describe their dramatic childhood experience, school studies and struggle for education with the help of which they were able to reach self-realization and succeeded as a personality. The both writers appreciated Autobiographical trilogy by Russian writer Maxim Gorky and this similarity is also considered. Strategies of self representation, literary values of these two autobiographies, their influence on Hindi literature are discussed and confronted with Women Autobiographies presented in a special issue of “Nayaa Maandand” dedicated to Dalit autobiography.
