Abstract

Shashi Deshpande, a prolific writer won prestigious Sahitya Akademi Award for That Long Silence in 1990. She enjoys a great popularity in the field of Indian English Novels. Her novels reveals her deep insight into the plight of Indian women who are smothered and fettered in a male-dominated society. She highlights their inferior position and the subsequent degradation under the patriarchal social system. She has made bold attempts to lend her voice to the disappointments and frustrations of oppressed and suppressed Indian women. Shashi Deshpande has emphasized the futility of segregating past and present, tradition and modernity, men and women etc. Social criticism has remained the pivot of her fiction.
