Feminist View of Mahabharat

Kapasi’s point of view and that of Mrs. Das, we will see some common features and differences, and above all, this is due to the fact that there are male and female points of view. Mrs. Das said how she met her future husband, how they communicated, and most importantly that she got married for real love. As many young girls, she dreamed of a strong marriage, but she ended up in an indifferent relationship with her husband, who on this trip to sees everything through the lens of his camera; she worries about Bobby and wants advice from Mr. Kapasi who is almost the same age as her father, but he has a lustful thoughts and is unwilling to understand her complex situations. As though from different angles. For instance, Mrs. Das always in her glasses and almost never removes them (338), Mr. Das sees the world through his camera (336) and he is missing the really important points that happen with his

Despite this, after marriage, a woman's expectations are suppressed and she is forced to give in to the expectations of the husband. Somer and Kavita are both forced to suppress their expectations and to give in to their husband's as they are threatened by desertion. Kavita's expectation is that she should be allowed to keep her children regardless of their gender. Somer is a caring wife who expects her husband to consult her before making decisions and also expects him to respect her opinions. However, even when the wives make themselves clear, their husbands simply disregard their expectations. Somer conveyed to her husband, Kris that she was not happy with how he had decided to send their daughter, Asha off to India without consulting her; however, Kris does the same thing again by deciding to go to India himself without discussing it with her. Somer's expectations are ignored, and on top of that, Kris says, "Come if you want. Or don't. Maybe it's better that way" (Gowda 207). He is essentially saying, abide by what I believe or leave me. Similarly, Kavita's expectations are overlooked as well. Every time Kavita gives birth to a girl she is forced by her husband to give up the child. After her husband, Jasu disposed of her first child, she indirectly let him know that she was not happy with the fact that he had gone against her will, by rejecting him when

This is something, that I challenge you - as a reader - to consider, given context, applying these ideas to the ultimately kyriarchical social order and how that is reflected within our system and society, from our everyday social interactions to larger economic relations, they are all influenced by the conditions created by our culture and

The central problem in Flannery O’Connor’s story, “Everything That Rises Must Converge”, Maxine Hong Kingston’s “The Woman Warrior”, and Toni Morrison’s “Recitatif”, revolve on the issue of race. Morrison and O’Connor focus on the theme of race specifically between blacks and whites in America. It could be said that Kingston’s “The Woman Warrior” concentrates on the racial difference between Asian and Caucasian but race is not made to be a big issue in this novel, since almost all of the characters is ethnically Chinese. Instead, the relationships are more marked by nationality. The characters in Jhumpa Lahiri’s collection of stories “Interpreter of Maladies”, are of Indian origin and deal with the problem of ethnicity.
