Her works caused a great deal of discussion and cast a new light on the plight of dalits, especially even after they converted to Christianity, where they still faced the same untouchability. Her works are also critical of the Chruch and the way it discriminates against dalits who have converted to Christianity. Bama herself was in a seminary before she left it disgusted by the double standards there too.WordsBeyondBordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977837061092838646noreply@blogger.com
