Ranjit Kumar Elamadurthi

Deshpande's Indian Queen

A Critical Study

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The research aims to analyze the hidden themes in the select novels of Shashi Deshpande, a prominent Indian author. While Deshpande is considered a feminist writer, the researcher emphasizes that she does not adhere to an unjustified stance and neither supports the male perspective nor the extreme feminist ideology. Deshpande's analysis of women's portrayal in her works is regarded as interesting due to her own perspective as a woman. Modern women strive to carve their own paths, yet society often views their self-confidence and economic independence cynically. In India, where women have long been restricted by taboos and limitations, the media, education, employment opportunities, and increasing awareness among Indian women have contributed to their liberation from stereotypical roles. The research specifically concentrates on the themes present in five popular novels. The work aims to understand and appreciate the trials and tribulations faced by Deshpande's women protagonists under the conflicting influences of tradition and modernity. It critically analyzes their responses to emerging situations and their attempts to fit into contemporary society.
