Exploring the interrelationships between caste, class, and patriarchy is necessary in order to delineate the subaltern female bodily experience and understand how biopolitics as an institutionalized ideology operates on the subject’s individual bodies. This connection constructs the discursive possibility to discuss the institutionalization of the caste system and its permeative operation on the bodies of subaltern women, its regulation and discipline in optimizing its capabilities and productivity. The social mechanism of endogamy is the mechanism employed by the system to enable the delimitation, restriction and violation of female subaltern bodies. This paper attempts to deconstruct the operation of biopolitics using feminist, racial, and anatomo-political approaches in the poetical production of female Subaltern writers. The exploration of poetry as the site of resistance to institutionalized discrimination in the form of body politics, particularly Foucaldian anatomo-politics is explored in this paper
