520			_aOver the last few decades, the entire landscape of India has changed with the upsurge of Dalits This has not only opposed the existing socio-historical work but also provided new epistemological visions to integrate peripheral ideas into the core in the re-writing of history culture, and politics paving the way for alternative social discourse. The long tradition of intellectual reconstruction of the Dalit identity in India in the past from the Bhakti movements to Phule, Ambedkar, Periyar and contemporary Dalit liberation movements had provided such stimulation to Dalits. The contemporary Dalit movement provided a sense of protest and resistance for identity and initiated the questions of selfassertion and new consciousness among them. These have been reflected through songs, novels, poetry, stories, critical essays, plays and autobiographies which provide critical understandings into the questions such as the denial of access to resources, participation in political processes, exclusion from social institutions, construction of Dalit identity, demanding equal share in resource among others. The paper attempts to explore small popular booklets, pamphlets produced by dalit writers, activists, of dalit life world, for the dalits from different places of Uttar Pradesh. Referred to as ‘literature from below’ tries to demonstrate ignored aspects of a subaltern consciousness-a consciousness of despite being deprived, discriminated and oppressed, but are now politically aware and aspire for a better future. - Reproduced
