        abstract = {Kamala Das stands as a singular voice in modern Indian English literature, renowned for her fearless exploration of female subjectivity and personal identity. Her works—both in English and Malayalam—are often autobiographical, rassling with issues of gender, sexuality, cultural constraints, and personal liberation. This article investigates the affirmation of identity in Das’s work, focusing on her poetry collections and her seminal autobiography My Story. Her self-articulation resists patriarchal and societal norms, presenting identity as both a site of struggle and self-actualization.},
