| Summary: | Dyche, deals with analysing the psyche of the Dalit – “Dyche” - to redefine Dalit community and empower the
victimised psyche of Dalit. The exploration of Dalit historiography and psychology through Dyche substantiates
that there is cultural, spiritual and psychological uniformity among Dalits and other Indigenous people of the
globe. Hence exploration through “Dyche” towards one’s culture, tradition and identity could edify the cause
of psychical wounds and thus could facilitate deliverance to indigenous communities from their marginal
predicament and bring back harmony. This paper attempts to apply some features of Dyche, the practical Dalit
psyche theory, for studying Dalits, Sami people of Norway and Noongar people of Australian Aborigines and to
explore their common life experiences, ethos and common self-assertion for liberation with reference to Indian
Dalit writer M.C. Raj’s novel, Yoikana and Australian Aboriginal writer Kim Scott’s novel, That Deadman
Dance. The paper also endeavours to differentiate between migrant psyche and indigenous psyche and discuss
the compensatory mechanisms “Moralising” and “Open Rebellion” adopted by the Oppressor and the
Oppressed respectively in their negotiation with the “other.” |
