Mahasweta Devi enlightens the literature of the downtrodden people. She thinks that the history of India should be re-written. It is only the history of the people from the main stream of the society. The new history should be written focusing on the backward people. Throughout her life she makes documentation for the tribal people in her writings and activism. She writes and fights for the establishment of the rights for the Indian subaltern people. She thinks writing in a novel way. She dreams of a new society - a society for the underprivileged society.
