  • Abstract:
  • In olden times women were physically dominated, socially discriminated, economically dependent and emotionally traumatised more than the current times. But modern contemporary woman is breaking her silence, questioning the male dominance and bracing the challenges. This marks the birth of ‘New Woman’ in the novels of Indian Writing in English. The contemporary novelist Shashi Deshpande’s protagonists of middle-class Indian women present a transformed woman who reasons, examines and finally advances into a New Woman. The protagonists of her novel whether it is Saru of The Dark Holds No Terrors, Indu of Roots and Shadows or Jaya of That Long Silence all realize the suppression of ‘self’, finally leading to the deconstruction of patriarchal culture and customs, and revealing these to be man-made constructs (Atrey and Kirpal, 15). The present paper discusses how the deconstruction takes place through Indian mythological replications.
