Feminism and Gender Representation in Indian Writing in English

Bhaveshkumar B Rana

Abstract :

Feminism in Indian English writing is commonly conceived as a very sublime and over-the-top concept, which is most subtly handled under restricted circumstances. However, with development of time, feminism has been established in India, setting aside the patriarchal predomination to some extent. Leaving aside the crusaders and activists of the social and political scenario, perhaps enormous body of work on feminism is also accomplished through Indian English literature. Feminist writers in India today proudly uphold their cause of `womanhood`, through their write-up. In the contemporary scenario there are many men/women writers who, through their writings, have been successful in projecting the existing social (gender) inequality. With regards to the new-fangled styles, technique and trends in women`s novels and poetry there is a noteworthy movement linking the domestic with the public spheres of work. This paper focuses on how feminism and gender issues have been dealt with in the Indian Writing in English.
