The word Dalit connotes the untouchables and the downtrodden in Indian society. Their marginalisation pertains not only to their caste or their position in society, but extends to their access to ecology and space. This chapter explores how Dalits face ecological precarity in their everyday life. The short stories are taken from an anthology, Survival and Other Stories: Bangla Dalit Fiction in Translation (2012) edited by Sankar Prasad Singha and Indranil Acharya. The chapter studies “Survival,” which depicts a father’s battle with a wild beast for food, and “On Water and On Shore,” detailing a fisherman’s perilous sea voyage to make ends meet. It also examines “Farmer Gopal’s Caste and Creed,” highlighting Gopal’s evolving identity amid ecological changes, and “Munnali,” which portrays her occupation as a manual scavenger, leading to her eventual disillusionment. Such stories have the potential to exhibit how Dalits are dependent on nature and natural elements, and yet how their marginality makes them face ecological plights of different kinds. Ecologically, they are marginalised to the point where their livelihood is obtained either by rummaging through dirt or by fighting with wild animals. Loss of forests, loss of lands, and loss of their identity put them in a crisis. The analysis of these tales foregrounds the broadscale environmental injustice meted out to them by the upper caste people of the society.
