Resumen

Este artículo analiza la situación de los/as intocables o Dalits en India, interrelacionando realidades literarias y sociales. Se examinan las obras literarias pioneras de la etapa colonial y postcolonial y cómo éstos textos de ficción mimetizan la realidad diaria. Así, el objetivo principal es 1) exponer cómo se ha representado la intocabilidad y cuál ha sido su evolución hasta la formación de la consciencia Dalit, en el contexto literario y social; y 2) demostrar que en menos de un siglo se han producido asombrosos cambios en lo que se refiere a la categoría social de casta-género.
