INVISIBLE AND ANNIHILATED NEW WOMAN OF INDIA: A STUDY OF SHASHI DESHPANDE'S THAT LONG SILENCE

DILIP JENA

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

The major characters in Shashi Deshpande's novels are educated, modern and working women. They crave to establish themselves as individuals having their own identity. They dislike being considered as appendages to men. A crisis of identity crops up when the women develop relationship with others. Bereft of support and confidence, they find themselves fettered in the chains of alienation as the situation lacks congeniality and compatibility.
