This paper effort is going to make a study of the changing roles of women in Indian society by taking into consideration Anita Nair’s The Better Man, the novelist of the Post independent era who have very skillfully and effectively presented the predicaments which are imposed upon them and while fighting against these predicaments, how they come out of their traditional roles as a mother, daughter, sister and above all as a wife or a home maker and acquire many unimagined and novel roles like teacher, social worker, social activist, businesswoman or corporate personality and many more. With the swing from feudal patriarchy to entrepreneur bourgeois patriarchy, the life of societal relations has tainted and vigorous individuality, self-centeredness and self-government have progressed as the crucial individual factors in the social relations.
