Abstract	African Americans are the people of African descent who were brought to America as slaves. Earlier, they were also called as Negroes, later blacks, (with hyphen) African Americans and now the African Americans. Like the African Americans, Dalit or ex-untouchable is group of humanity in India who were oppressed by the social slavery of Brahmanism. They were oppressed just because they were born in the lower caste. Racism and casteism are to the two social evils that suppressed the African Americans in America and Dalits in India. One would notice an attempt of comparison between the bitter experience of African Americans and Dalits. This article sustains the literary corpus of the margins. I have chosen Du Bois and Ambedkar for comparative discourse with their respective question of Race in America and Caste in India particular. I strongly argue that Ambedkar has been got influenced by Dubois.
