Nandini Chandra, in her review, observes that “while the publishers shy away from calling it a graphic novel, and stick to the universal category 'graphic book', the overarching frame in which it is slotted, marked, and reviewed is that of the graphic novel” (1).
There are various opinions regarding the literary genre of Bhimayana. This work is a unique piece of biography, which provides some information about the experience of Ambedkar, which other conventional biographies did not take up. Although he contributed immensely to divergent areas of India, his anti-caste struggles are the most important among them. Dr Ambedkar is a highly educated urban youth. This seems a political document to problematize the concerns of the caste experience of Dalits in India. This paper aims to provide critical insight into the Graphic biography, Bhimayana: Experiences of Untouchability, published in 2011. Debates on the caste system and Dr Ambedkar as a powerful Dalit Intellectual are burgeoning in various political and literary discourses.
