The pretense of being omniscient and all-encompassing while presenting a narrow, one sided, twisted and biased view of reality. The society is changing. So it is obvious that the role of literature and expression must be changed accordingly. In an effort to create a contemporary, democratic, and secular Indian identity, the Dalit movement opposes the anti-caste movement. The first Dalit literary work appeared in the Indian state of Maharashtra in 1958. After independence, the phrase "Dalit," which means "downtrodden, subjugated, or broken," was used. In the 1930s, it was employed as a translation of "depressed classes" into Hindi and Marathi. The word typically used was "Untouchable" or "Shudra" Dalit, we can say, is not a caste but an image of change that can bring revolution in the society. It includes Schedule tribes, impoverished peasants, women (who are viewed as less valuable than men), and anyone else who is being abused politically or financially in the name of religion.

The Chak dynasty took power in 1561 and ruled Kashmir till 1586. The country was cleaned from robbers and thieves. Corrupt authorities were severely punished. The rulers of the time built a well-functioning grievance mechanism for the people of Kashmir. The well-planned royal engagements and the rule of state business was an outstanding feature of Chak administration. The rulers kept a close eye on treasury and possessions of Kashmir. Due to the lack of administration treaties, the authors noted that obtaining the entire administrative structure of Chaks is extremely difficult. It is claimed that they did not bring any improvements in the administration other than a few modest adjustments enacted in times of need.
