Eco Feminist Perspective In The Autobiographies Of Dalit Literature

Dr. VIPIN KUMAR.




Abstract

French feminism is the intellectual ancestor of the ecofeminist literary critique school. It was Francoise d' Eubanne who originally used the word "feminism," not Simone d' Beauvoire who popularized the phrase. As a feminist social movement, ecofeminism encourages females to speak out against the unchecked exploitation of both women and the environment. The goal of this campaign was to stop the destruction of the environment. Dalit women, who are otherwise equally instrumental in nature's nurturing and excel in their sense of affinity and belonging to their family and community, have had their suffering compared to that of women from both the upper and lower castes to highlight the severity of their plight. Ecofeminism is a political ideology that emerged from the convergence of feminist and environmentalist perspectives. Ecofeminism, as a social and literary movement, advocates for the worth of all forms of life, including human life, to be held at the same level. Books written by members of the Dalit community often serve as a means of social protest. The criticism is used to Dalit literature to analyze it on the grounds that it lacks depth and simply presents a negative perspective on uprising. However, it is certain that the early poetry, in particular, is a genre that often erupts in rage, releases a load of hate and disdain built up over generations, and even sometimes hurls obscenities at and spits out back on upper castes the poison that they had for decades.

Key words: Feminism, Ecofeminism, Dalit Women,
