Subjugation to Celebration in the select novels of Shoba De and Shashi Deshpande

Abstract

Indian fiction in English has been enhanced by a few proficient women writers, including Kamala Markandaya, Anita Desai, Nayanatara Sahyagal, Attain Hosain, Santharamarau, Shashi Deshpande, and Shobha De. They encompass a women's point of view on society. They have illustrated Indian women, their battle, their misery, and their awkward position, keeping in view their picture and job, which the general public has made. Their central devotion comprises investigating the ethical quality of women characters and their battle with difficulties in making their personalities. Since the start of civilization, that has been a great effort to emancipate women from male oppression. In the past, the work of women authors has consistently been underestimated because of some patriarchal assumptions. Feminism is an expression of unjust treatment meted out to any woman. This research paper has thrown light on the realistic characters of the novelists Jaya and Karuna from That Long Silence and Socialite Evenings, respectively. It has shown the broad light on how they self-articulated themselves after a decade of silence.
