During the ancient period women enjoyed high status and played a significant role in society and a feminine term “Shakti” literally means “power and strength”. Literary evidence suggests that kings and towns were destroyed because the rulers troubled a single woman. Ilango Adigal’s Sillapathigaram teaches us Madurai, the capital of the Pandyas was burnt because Pandyan Nedunchezhiyan mistakenly did harm to Kannaki. But the status and role of woman discriminated in the later periods and they were considered to be the weaker sex, food giver and sex object. Her status and dignity as a woman is not accepted in society as well as at home. Our history reveals many instances how she is meted out injustice, deprived of her basic needs and even fundamental rights. From the position of a deity she is degraded into a prostitute who sells her body for money due to miserable living condition, poverty and starvation. Such survival sex can be vividly seen in Jayanta Mahapatra’s poem “Hunger”. The poem presents a sentimental touching story of a fifteen year old girl who becomes a whore to keep starvation at bay with the consent of her father- a poor fisher man. Here her father himself acts as a pimp because hunger reigns over the father- daughter relationship. The poem is an unapologetic commentary on our society, i.e., how a girl of fifteen, who should be given a safe environment to live, is used for satiates the hunger of so-called moralistic and upright civilized society. The poem also

Mahasweta Devi’s short story, “Giribala,” is about the life of Giribala, a girl of Talsana village located in India. Born into a caste in a time when it was still customary to pay a bride-price, Giri is sold to Aulchand by her father. From this point on, we see a series of unfortunate, tragic events that take place in Giri’s life as a result of the circumstances surrounding Giri’s life. There are many issues in Giri’s life in India that Devi highlights to readers. First, the economic instability of the village leads to an extremely poor quality of life for the lower, working classes. Next, the cruel role of women determined by men in society is to either satisfy the sexual desires of men or to reproduce offspring who can work or be sold off to marriages. There are also other social norms and beliefs which discriminate against women that will be discussed.
Societal expectations play momentous roles in character development in Hamsun’s Hunger and Hesse’s Siddhartha. Societal expectations derive from the origins of the individuals in the society who create authority and code of conduct for the people to obey and follow (based on their own morals). Both novels uncover the character development of the protagonists yet the authors approach these themes in different manners. Hamsun follows the hero’s path through an unforeseen destiny of solitude and weariness allowing the hero to find no place among the society. His journey of struggle within the society faces the hero to make certain decisions that readers question as either rational or irrational decisions. Whereas in Hesse’s, the

When you watch commercials depicting starvation in African countries like Mali, do you wonder what it would actually take to end hunger? Plenty of answers appear successful in concept, but have unforeseen complications, such as building factories in Africa to produce and process biofuels. And other obstacles such as civil wars, poor sanitation, and massive debt keep countries like Democratic Republic of the Congo from advancing. Maybe we complicate the solution to the hunger crisis by focusing on economy instead of food sustainability. Before a country can advance economically and technologically, it has to be able to feed its inhabitants. Therefore, by altering the crops currently grown in the African savannas to create agricultural sustainability, it will diminish hunger, and lead to economic growth.
