Abstract: The present study highlights the way woman have been represented in the novels of contemporary Dalit women writings. It attempts to highlight the various issues related to Dalit women, their protest and efforts for freedom and empowerment. Even the experiences of Dalit women are not the same always, this study attempts to analyze that the Dalit women writers strive to redraw and reformulate the feminist dialogue to accommodate the majority of women into it. It also analyzes that the Dalit women writers reconstruct the notion of Dalit women, give them a voice and create their own identity despite all odds. As truthful illustration of the sufferings of women was not given by male writers, so women tried to form their own representation. Thus the main objective of the study is to examine the questions regarding the triple oppression of women.
