Women as an agency both suffered and glorified at the hands of social norms that were heavily influenced by the western ideals of a reformed and independent beings and the patriotic essence of visualizing the nation as the mother, thus urging the women to retain their ‘Indian-ness’ as the empowering tool. ![]() Such a situation found extensive expression in the literature of the time, where the paradox of women’s social existence, which, due to prevalent social reforms, was undergoing a critical metamorphosis. In conjunction with this was the interpolation of issues of class and caste – issues that still continue to be much dominant in the socio-cultural matrix of India. ![]() While women were getting educated, stepping out of the inner quarters on one hand, they were also subjected to ridicule for becoming the ‘new woman’ or ‘nabina’, often modelled on the white woman. Traditional attitudes toward women and the exposure to western modernity set interesting modes of expression in India in the nineteenth century and onward. Colonial modernity has played a pivotal role in imagining gender roles and redefining the notions of patriarchies. If modern understanding of women has generally been through a Western White lens, it has often ended up ignoring the post-colonial realities of women in India to such an extent that “the hegemonic practices in the west continue to construct the notion of the third world woman” (Chandra Talpade Mohanty).Ī particularly prolonged colonial rule resulted into an India being influenced by western modernity. Women’s concerns, since are varied and defined by distinctive political, social, and historical issues, the representation of women in Indian literature therefore is dominated by various aspects of class, caste, race, and ethnicities that often contribute to the construction of individual identities.
