A significant contribution to Dalit writing in India, Sangati is a startling insight into the lives of Dalit women who face the double disadvantage of caste and gender discrimination. Flouting received notions of what a novel should be, Bama weaves many narratives together to explore the social inequities suffered by Dalit women.

Bama is one of the first Dalit women writers to be widely recognized and translated. Her writings include an autobiography, Karukku (1992), a novel, Sangati (1994; translated into English by Lakshmi Holmström, OUP 2005), and a collection of short stories, Kisumbukaaran (1996). Lakshmi Holmström has translated Tamil novels and short stories by many modern writers. She has been awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award (Iyal Virudhu) by the Canada Tamil Literary Garden, Toronto.
