TITLE:THE PREDICAMENT OF WOMEN IN INDIAN-ENGLISH WRITINGS: SOME REFLECTIONS DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
ABSTRACT: From depiction of India’s struggle for Independence and feeling of nationalism to showing the social reality in the Post-Independence era including hunger and despair of village life, religious myths and realities – the journey of Indian-English writing has been quite long and wide. In the post-independence era, the main themes have been man-woman relationship, socio-political consciousness and the conflict between scientific growth and traditional values. The present paper proposes to bring out the predicament of women as depicted in Indian-English writings during the second half of the Twentieth Century. The focus has been on the condition of women, their dilemma and struggle in the wake of changing times and their response to the Indian social milieu as portrayed through different writers.
