This book explores the gendered contexts of the Indian nation
through a rigorous analysis of selected women's fiction ranging
from diverse linguistic, geographical, caste, class, and regional
contexts. Indian women's writing across languages, texts, and
contexts constitutes a unique narrative of the post-independence
nation. This volume highlights the ways in which women writers
negotiate the patriarchal biases embedded in the epistemological
and institutional structures of the post-independence nation-state.
It discusses works of famous Indian authors like Amrita Pritam,
Jyotirmoyee Devi, Mannu Bhandari, Mahasweta Devi, Mridula Garg,
Nayantara Sahgal, Indira Goswami, and Alka Saraogi, to name a few,
and facilitates a pan-Indian understanding of the concerns taken up
by these women writers. In doing so, it shows how ideas travel
across regions and contribute towards building a thematic critique
of the oppressive structures that breed the unequal relations
between the margins and the centre. The volume will be of interest
to scholars and researchers of gender studies, women's studies,
South Asian literature, political sociology, and political studies.
