Indian literature written in English language has its base n the myth that has been passed on from generations. Like many Indian English writers writing in English Girish Karnad is of no exception. In his writings the mythological aspects echo throughout.

Momaday has said,” There are certain villages, and towns mountains and plains that, having seen them, walked in them, lived in them, even for a day, we keep forever in the mind’s eye.” Just like how Momaday relived his ancestor’s trails, I had a chance as well. I was lucky enough to be able to go on such a sacred journey that people would pay in thousands of dollars.

Karnad , the writer as a creative genius and a cinematographic artist. He does not simply make us see, but makes us through camera. The difference between a cinema and a literary form, is seen obviously through medium viz. verbal and visual. The approach in Karnad’s play is essentially a visual where his inclination towards visualization of the scenes and settings create a cinematic interest. The regular adaptations from Indian literature in several languages for Indian cinema , no doubt , brings curiosity of interlinking of some of the past and traditional Indian implications of the Indian past and her glory. The preconceptions and belongingness to the theory of the principles of Indian origin or heritage certainly creates among audience the proud feeling of cherishing, respecting and reviving the ancient past of the primitive identity. As Flaubert says, “derive(s) almost voluptuous sensations from the mere act of seeing”. Karnad seems creating memorable situations through the convincing setting. He also applies full visual imagination and powers of description. He tried to direct the events with a keen determination to record fully and accurately a specific moment of perception. Arun Sajnani, the Director and the Screenplay writer Anil Mehta, have equally tried to judge Karnad’s determined principles of creating persons, scenes, setting and the motif as well.

A odd feature of the Indian action is that men defend maleness and deem women not manly which is not basically human. Women are marginalised through cultural institutions and religious rituals. Feminist movements have been maddening for removal of this marginalisation. The hermetic salutation of feminism in the 1960s and 1970s helped theorize a girl's discourse. A feministically right to use text can gain to a better covenant of the woman's condition Feminism in Indian English literature is focused so many years back. Feminism refers to the support of women’s right. This right is to remove gender discrimination and gives equal status to female in society.
