| book description |

This book offers a critical exploration of the intersections of poverty, pollution, and caste in India through the lens of Dalit literature from across regions. Introducing the concept of Environmental Casteism within Indian ecology, it examines how entrenched hierarchies and systemic discrimination shape environmental experiences and deepen socio-economic divides. Drawing from a rich corpus of Dalit literary works, this book provides a nuanced understanding of how literature serves as a potent medium for articulating ecological concerns, resistance, and resilience in the face of environmental injustices. Integrating perspectives from environmental studies, sociology, and postcolonial theory, it challenges dominant narratives and calls for inclusive and equitable ecological discourse. An essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and readers, it offers critical insights into the intertwined realities of caste, environment, and social justice in India.
