Abstract
For Spivak, Subaltern “is not just a classy word for oppressed, for ‘Other’, for somebody who’s not getting a piece of the pie…. In postcolonial terms, everything that has limited or no access to the cultural imperialism is subaltern—a space of difference”. This is an attempt to look into the intricate connection between an upper caste writer who had clearly defined empathetic feelings towards the downtrodden of his homeland and also the characters he portrayed his own works, which later in history turned out to be the foundation of a different tradition that has been followed by the state of Kerala. Much before all these topics of Subaltern occupied the prime position of discussion in the academic circles, he gave his full effort, through the innumerable characters that he gave birth to, spoke with the true spirit of Subaltern.
Keywords: Subaltern, Imperialism.
