Abstract:

This research paper aims to delve into the representation of subalternity, subaltern consciousness, and subaltern existence in the writings of Mahasweta Devi, a prominent Indian author and social activist. Mahasweta Devi's works provide a powerful portrayal of the marginalized communities in India, capturing their lived experiences, struggles, and aspirations. By analyzing selected texts from Devi's oeuvre, this paper will examine the ways in which she explores the intricate layers of subalternity, illuminating the conscious awareness and existence of the subaltern subjects. The research will employ a postcolonial theoretical framework, drawing on the concepts of subalternity, agency, resistance, and representation
