This research paper critically examines Sharankumar Limbale’s Akkarmashi (The Outcaste) as
a significant autobiographical work that provides insight into Dalit life and struggles. The study
explores themes of caste oppression, social discrimination, economic hardship, identity crisis, and the
assertion of self-worth as depicted in the text. Akkarmashi is analyzed within the broader framework
of Dalit literature and its socio-political impact. The paper highlights how the text serves as both a
personal narrative and a collective testimony of marginalized communities, employing an
unembellished, raw narrative style. The research also explores the influence of Akkarmashi on Dalit
literature and its contribution to social discourse in contemporary India
