Abstract

This paper is a discussion of “subaltern studies”, and the paper explains how this discussion falls into the rubric of humanism and multi-culturalism. The emphasis in this paper as the ‘human being’ is the ‘centre’ of inquiry, is to high light the ‘dignity’ of the ‘human individual’ in the works of subaltern studies. In literary theory, the term, ‘humanist’ often connotes those thinkers who base truth on human experience and reason, and base values on human nature and culture as distinct from those who regard religious revelation as the warrant for all truth and values. There is a need for the recognition of the ‘other’ and living in ‘peace’ with each other; that is, you can have your own different religion, culture, and even caste- but, let me live peacefully and indiscriminately with you; and, this may be called the essence of multiculturalism
