Cupidity for Self Identity in Manju Kapur’s Novels

Abstract

Since its origin, Indian writing in English has been inevitably linked to India's growth and progress as a nation. There have been notable writers who have determined the development of this Indian literature. Manju Kapur, a vibrant Indian writer, is one of them, and she has claimed about the matter of contention that women face today. Today in world literature Indian English fiction formed an essential role, especially in the post-independence period.  In this the main part was played by the Indian women writers.  Because they were affected and marginalized by the social issues, cultural domination and gender bias.  They wished to change the society towards woman as a free bird.  They protested in many ways for their freedom in the society. Before two and half decades the novel was started writing in the same theme the writers followed a stereotype theme.  Such as patriarchal traditions and gender discrimination in the fictions.  But in the modern era it was all changed by these writers blessedly.  The protest was raised in the way against the patriarchal issues and this was because for a new thirst of freedom and declaration of self-suffering.
