Abstract

The life of Muslims all over the world is fundamentally based on religion. More than that it is subject to the rules taught by the religious society.  In such a religious life, the duality of those who belong to the center and those who are marginalized becomes inevitable. Keeranur Jahirraja, who has celebrated the myth of marginalized society in the creative world, has expressed the resonance created by the above binary opposites of center x edge. The lives of the various marginal that resulted from the centripetal attitude are depicted in a multifaceted manner in his fiction. Jahirraja has literaryized marginalized characters such as sex workers, homosexuals, coolies, brokers, thieves, drunkards, psychopaths, beggars, etc., which are unknown in most Islamic fiction.  Among them, this article examines only marginal people who live in dargahs.

Key Words: Islamic literature, Keeranur Jahirraja, Subaltern People, Dhargah
