The paper delves into the discourse surrounding digital humanities, particularly in understanding digital divide. Digital humanities, while enhancing information access, should address the digital divide, recognizing lack of equity in access, to truly fulfil its goal of understanding society 1. Drawing on the concept of the "subaltern" by Antonio Gramsci, which refers to marginalized groups excluded from mainstream discourses and structures of power 2. Examining digital humanities in the context of marginalized groups like Dalits and Blacks reveals parallels with global communities facing historical exclusion, discriminations, and ostracism. These groups experience segregation and unequal access to crucial resources, including healthcare, employment, education, economic advancement, and digital technology3. - Reproduced
