A STUDY ON SOCIO CULTURAL HISTORY IN INDIAN AUTOBIOGRAPHIES

Ambika Das Mohapatra

Abstract :

Autobiography is a story of the writer’s own life in which he looks back towards his past at a certain point in his life and creates the character of his own self’ with the help of his memory. From the autobiographies of the suppressed people one comes to know about the character of the author how he faced the difficulties and conflicts of his life and with what stuff his personality is formed. Yet while narrating the experiences of his life the author gives an objective analysis of his life and it is due to such objectivity and disinterestedness his autobiography successfully creates the image of his self in conflict with oppressive social and cultural conditions. Autobiography presents as untroubled a reflection of identity as the surface of a mirror can provide. The corresponding assumption has been that autobiography is a transparency through which we perceive the life, unmediated and undistorted.  The same assumption had been made about photographic self–portraits.
