Abstract
Omprakash Valmiki and Frederick Douglass were born as human beings in this world. But they were classified as Dalit and Slave respectively. As a result, they were deprived of their child and manhood. They hoped to survive, yet were discriminated, humiliated and assaulted. Their autobiographies have, as Northon Frye said, “Dianoia” which are the life matters of the writer and provide sequences of context.
