Abstract

Marginalisation is a serious topic that comes in many shapes in which certain members of the society are treated as inferior and often forbidden from equality, and are imposed severe restriction to do even basic day-to-day actions. This paper aims to highlight the discrimination and exclusion of people that occurs in the name of social order. The caste system in India is an invisible leading factor that strongly foothold even today. Though this system originated in ancient times, it still perpetuates resulting in one-half of the people’s sufferings caused primarily by prejudice resulting in class violence. Despite having laws that chiefly secure people from violent behaviour, it is lugubrious to withstand that they endure the hardest combat. Meena Kandasamy is a contemporary Indian poet, whose writing principally focuses on the sufferings of downtrodden people and the welfare of women. Her works primarily involve in nurturing the lives of individuals who denied even the vital rights and privileges within the name of caste. Brimmed with rage, she portrays the real scenario of people harassed by the upper-class regime. Accordingly, her book of poetry collection assortment Touch covers up most of the aspects of coercion and excruciating tragedies of lower caste people. This paper attempts to forecast the anguished lives of secluded people, their firmness in achieving their purpose and the liberation achieved through unity concerning the poem “We will Rebuild Worlds.”
