The upper caste dominant section has successfully controlled the other section by different ways which resulted their suffocation and loss of identity. The term 'subaltern', as Antonio Gramsci coined, refers to those who are outside of the dominant power structures causing them to remain suppressed and treated inferior and low ranked. The term identifies it the cultural hegemony that leads their inability ever since the colonial times. Their voices were muted and unnoticed in terms of social, political, and economic power. The present research attempts to explore 'the subaltern voices' that indicates the voice of suppressed individuals. Here, this term refers to sociological inability due to certain conquering elements rather than biological. The present research paper incorporates marginalized voices of social and cultural domains in Anosh Irani's Dahanu Road (2011).
