ResumoIndian feminism has evolved from caste-privileged women, as feminism in First World evolved from race-privileged women, who failed to capture the experiences of, and consequently marginalised, the issues related to Dalit women. Gopal Guru argues that there is a difference in Dalit women's way of talking and living due to a long history of their deprived socio-economic-political status. This chapter explicates the grounding of Dalit feminist discourse in Indian subcontinental context. It explicates that Dalit women are deprived in vertical structure of brahmanical social system and in horizontal patriarchal order. Guru argues that their talking differently is a language of resistance.
