The Feminist Discourse In Contemporary Hindi Literature: An Analysis
Keywords:
Feminist thinking, patriarchy, Manusmriti, beauty-youth, male-female equality, dignity, oppression-exploitation
Abstract
In traditional society and literature, the physical structure of a women has been kept at the center of her social status. Physicality is linked to modesty, morality and character. By calling her affectionate, compassionate, tender-bodied and sacrificial, her natural nature and aspirations are snatched away from her. The understanding of Indian culture makes a women great, but feminist discourse is striving towards making her equal. In a deep sense, feminist discourse is a cultural movement against all the above-mentioned institutions, organizations, ideas and mentality. Feminist discourse has been given its due place in Indian Hindi literature.
