Delineation of Dalits in the Shroud (KAFAN) and Deliverance (SADGATI)

Arvind Singh

This paper is designed to make a comparative analysis of the delineation of Dalits in Munshi Premchand’s two classical stories The Shroud (KAFAN) and Deliverance (SADGATI). The age-old caste system has been a blemish of Indian society and it has always been criticized and condemned by many a writer. A writer like Premchand could not keep himself aloof from the duties of a literary figure that he wields towards society. Consequently, he has written a lot against caste system in his novels and short stories. The stories The Shroud (KAFAN) and Deliverance (SADGATI) also aim at presenting a critique of caste system but from different perspectives. The objective of this paper is to trace out both of these perspectives.
