Women studies as an emerging discipline contain many pertinent issues relating to women in particular and society in general. It is an unfortunate fact that women in India reality face inequality and injustice in terms of education, job opportunities, pay and health. Women are being haunted by crime and violence due to various reasons. If it is the issues related to the Dalits and Tribes, the Dalit and Tribal women have been subjugated to experience the discrimination in every walk of their life. The proposition of the present paper is to portray the experiences of sufferings and oppression faced by the Dalit women not only by elite sections but also within their own community. Further, being an attempt to explore the position of Dalit women in the society, the present paper deals with the issues related to caste and gender violence with reference to Bama's Vanmam-Vendetta (2008).
