        abstract = {The female characters in Amitav Ghosh's Sea of Poppies are the subject of this research article. It will concentrate on the predicament of women in the nineteenth century, when their circumstances were made worse by colonial control. Opium has a direct or indirect impact on the lives of all the female characters in the book. Each woman's character will be briefly discussed, with a particular emphasis on Deeti. Paulette, a French botanist's daughter who lives in Calcutta, respects Indian culture just as much as French people do. Sarju, Heeru, Munniah, and other minor female characters in the book are indentured servants who go from Calcutta to Mauritius aboard an Ibis. The story paints a striking image of women's oppression. The life of a widow and how they were sent to Brindavan to endure a life of pain and adversity are depicted via the character of Taramony.},
