ABSTRACT
Popular Literature, time and again, is looked down upon as ‘low’ by such purists. For them, the expansion of ‘real literature’ to the internet is a nightmare which has come true. If literature, in both its style and subject is, after all, the reflection of culture and the society in which the author and the reader live, then popular literature is real literature. The author-reader engagement online provides a solid ground and security for the writer where they have a chance to know their readers and identify with them. In a matter of a few minutes, the writers get instant feedback to their work and get to know what the readers are expecting from them. Representation of Dalit voices, their struggles against casteism and listening to what they have to say is essential to the movement of heading towards an ‘equal for all’ society.
