Abstract
The present study was aimed on an intensive and discerning study of Nayantara Sahgal with exclusive focus on Sahgal’s major concern in her novels i.e. individual’s search for freedom and self –realization. In almost every novel Sahgal is preoccupied with the individual’s search for freedom and self–realization. Her fictional work is a thoroughly integrated system of values focused on the concept of freedom as of fundamental significance to the peace and progress of the human spirit. Nayantara’s Freedom of individual and freedom of India emerged as twin themes in the fictional world of Nayantara Sahgal. She deals with marital and political crisis alongside; crumbling politics and crumbling marriages take the centre of her fictional matrix. Underlying these twin concerns is her preoccupation with the theme of freedom.
