Reflection of race and caste: In the works of Adichie And Bama

Madhumati, Shantha Naik N

Race and caste are unsolved problems across the globe, and still, many socially weaker section people face inequality in this present society. Racism and Casteism subjugate people’s lives, opportunities, and social status and ruin their dreams. Since this social hierarchy appeared, these people were forced into social stigma, and oppressors fit in the world of acceptance. Racism and Casteism believe that being superior and inferior to another may be hatred one person by another and may decimate one another due to skin, colour, custom, tradition, food habits, and nature of birth. It has influenced social unrest, slavery, and abuse. This paper identified reflection on Race and Caste situation in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah and Bama’s Vanmam (Vendetta). It addressed how women suffer from these white and patriarchal-dominated people in this society. These works main themes peruse race, skin colour, caste system, and social inequality. Thus, in a country like America, racism is exclusively based on colour. Adichie narrates this issue in her novel. Ifemelu experiences nuances of race and cultural implications to the society, especially Non-American Black and Ifemelu finds many more racism issues in her daily life. The Narrator, Bama, describes the central theme in the novel Caste and Discrimination and focuses on Dalit women and how they faced social discrimination in multiple sorts. Lastly, this kind of significant diverse discrimination in a knowledge society, especially Black and Dalit women, reflects the humiliation of humanism that is dragged into society’s bottom.
