A transition from colonial to modern nationalist phase saw the Indian middle class rise through the ranks of historical agency which continues to have a heavy influence even today. But as the post-colonial knowledge production sought new areas of inquiry, a new trend emerged in the form of Subaltern Studies. Historiography in India has been facing a significant shift in perspectives with the coming of subaltern scholarship. Subaltern historians propose an approach so as to the hitherto oppressed sections of the society such as religious and racial minorities, women, transgender etc that were greatly silenced in the process of standardizing history, be rightly represented and properly acknowledged. Literary works offer an important source to revisit a past of which the existing knowledge doesn’t fairly represent all equally. In this backdrop, the writings of Vaikom Muhammad Basheer (1908-1994), a prominent Malayalam writer, provide ample source for re-reading the people’s history. The present paper attempts to read his selected works in a subaltern perspective. It is argued here that Basheer’s characters by virtue of their subalternity question the standardized history. And also his fictional world of multiple everyday voices brings in an alternative view of a society. | ||
