Abstract

Previously, novelists painted a dark and caustic picture of the ladies who lived in
our immediate vicinity. They depicted a bleak society for women. Women were portrayed as
if they lacked artistic creativity. They were exclusively seen as a sexual object. This is an alluniverse.
Women were portrayed as if they lacked artistic creativity. They were exclusively
seen as a sexual object. This position of women in the 1970s compels Indian women writers
to write down their protests against a patriarchal society dominated by men.By depicting the
lives of Indian women, women writers have succeeded in drawing readers' attention to the
awful practice of patriarchy to a large extent. My thesis is a naive attempt to demonstrate how
female protagonists in Arundhati Roy's 'The God of Small Things' struggle for survival in
varied roles in a male-dominated patriarchal society.
