Summary/Abstract: Many questions arise in the understanding of texts produced in different locales with-in the bigger ambit of world literature. It is here that the need arises to apply various modes of enquiry in understanding them. Comparative literature can become a common platform for un-derstanding different cultures and literatures. The present paper is a modest attempt to introduce the concept of comparative literature to a fresh learner and then to evaluate literatures from two different contexts (Dalit and African American) together for practical purposes. A model is pro-posed for discussing comparative literature in the classroom. Thus, the paper becomes authentic and unique research, bringing theory and practice together.
