She tries her best to make aware her women their rights and fills them with courage in order they may demand their rights and make a niche in the society.

Abstract:
Shashi Deshpande’s novel “The Dark Holds No Terrors” explores themes related to feminine sensibility and self-affirmation in the context of a woman’s life.Fictional works by Shashi Deshpande depict the struggles of Indian women and build a world from the perspective of feminists. Her story presentations in That Long Silence are very real, thanks to the emotional identification and validation of self-anguishing via their difficulties. She stands in for the feminist longing for India’s rich cultural heritage and traditional practices that these women feel. She admits her fictitious art world was lacking strength and significance due to a lack of understanding of Indian women’s inner lives. Deshpande disrupts the typical matrix of ‘home and homelessness’ in the galaxy of feminist fiction by creating different narrative patterns that give her feminist protagonists adequate freedom to show their repressed sense for their motherland. Aside from the characters’ sentimentality, she promotes local sensibility via poetry, performances, ethics, and ethnic arts. In her narrative work, she has come to terms with the paradigms and commitments.

Abstract:
This article examines Shashi Deshpande’s poignant portrayal of the subtle oppression women experiences in her novel That Long Silence (TLS). Through an in-depth analysis of the characters, narrative and plot, the researcher gives emphasis to how Shashi Deshpande skillfully exposes the societal structures that lead to gender inequality in Indian society. Women in the world are experiencing some sort of subtle oppression, either directly or indirectly, in the form of socio - cultural norms, old patriarchal values, conservative thoughts, religious rituals, traditional beliefs and so on. The women’s subtle oppression can include the issues they used to face because of the emotional imbalance, financial instability, prohibition of education and domestic work in the kitchen. Through the female characters like Jaya, Mohan’s mother, Jeeja, Manda and Nayana, the novelist Deshpande brings out the subtle suppression and oppression of society. These characters are willingly or unwillingly getting into the track and are unable to deviate or resist themselves from the ongoing path. They can take a pause but continue their journey until their deaths without any modification. The women are willing to liberate themselves from the shackles of the traditional roles which is imposed upon them. They are the victims of suppression that leads to everlasting depression in their life and there is no chance of deviation.

Abstract:
Shashi Deshpande has been the champion of the disquietude and struggles of women. Her works, very indisputably depict the various roles of women in their life as a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter, , a daughter-in-law and so on. Her works can’t be called directly feminist since her works are not against man; in fact, her novel depicts the dilemma of the new educated modern working women in the traditional Indian society. This present paper attempts to critically analyse the selected novel of Shashi Deshpande _The Dark Holds No Terrors. The focus of the paper is to present why women are no longer afraid of darkness and why women are really oppressed in the society. Women, for ages altogether, have been subjected to exploitation and suppression; their lives have been spent in the darkness and thus, they are not afraid of darkness instead they feel comfort in the dark and even they feel estranged from others due to suppression by the patriarchal society. The study also attempts to highlight the fact that women are denied rights not only because of the circumstances but also because women themselves suppress other women and use men as instruments. The Dark Holds No Terrors is the story of Sarita, often referred to as Saru in the novel, and her disruptions and conflicts. The novel reveals the life of Sarita who is always neglected and ignored in favour of her brother. She is not given any heed-no parental love is shown upon her even on her birthdays. Her brother’s birthdays, however, are celebrated with full enthusiasm including the performance of the religious rituals. When her brother is drowned, she is blamed for it. Feminine sensibility is an appealing quality in literature. Almost all the writers in India express and expose this quality in their writings. The renowned novelist Shashi Deshpande is no exception in portraying this aspect in her novels. In this study, an attempt is made to study Shashi Deshpande’s women protagonists as portrayed in her novels, with a view to understand and appreciate their trials and tribulations under the impact of the conflicting influence of tradition and modernity. It critically analyses their response to the emerging situation in life so as to fit themselves in the contemporary society. The study considers the problems of her characters which have had to contend with the given situation.

Abstract:
No other woman novelist than Shashi Deshpande has been given accolades so greatly and accorded prominence and worldwide recognition for the projection of feminine sensibility in Indian English Literature. Her exploration of the female psyche by probing deep into the inner working of her mind is highly appreciated by the readers and greatly discussed among the researchers and critics. The novels of Shashi Deshpande are centred on women’s psyche to understand their urges and despairs in a better way. Her protagonists advocate for ‘A Room of One’s Own and proclaim their rights on their bodies. She has portrayed the characters unsatisfied with the uncongenial social conditions that confront their aspirations, needs, urges and hopes. So they conduct themselves in different ways displaying different attitudes and temperaments. These characters undergo a remarkable dynamism in their personalities, and display satisfactory development in their attitude and outlook regarding life. The authors in this research analysis have attempted to examine in depth the various feminist issues projected in her novels through the characters of the main protagonists: Indu of Roots and Shadows, Jaya of That Long Silence and Saru of The Dark Holds No Terrors.

Abstract:
Marriage is an important thing in the life of a woman. The importance that our society attaches to marriage is reflected in our literature and it is the central concern of Shashi Deshpade’s novels. In our society where girl learns early that she is ‘Paraya Dhan’, and she is her parents’ responsibility till the day she is handed over to her rightful owners. What a girl makes of her life, how she shapes herself as an individual, what profession she takes up is not as important as whom she marries. Marriage is the ultimate goal of a woman’s life. This paper attempts to probe into the problems of marriage through the protagonists of her novels where one enjoys the freedom of marriage and the other accepts the traditional marriage. Shashi Deshpade highlights the problems of marriage faced by middle-class people in finding suitable grooms for their daughters. This problem is well-illustrated through the characters of her novels. Since the girl’s mind over her childhood is tuned that she is another’s property, she tries to attach a lot of importance to it. it is indeed a tragedy that even in the modern age, Indian females echo the same sentiment where it was marriage which mattered most of them but not to the men. It is a beginning of females sacrifices in life that marriage brings to her. Shashi Deshpande encourages her female protagonists to rise in rebellion against the males in the family matters, instead she wants to build a harmonious relationship between man and woman in a mood of compromise and reconciliation.

Abstract: Indian English Literature has its roots in the works of the 19th century writers such as Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, Rabindranath Tagore, and Sarojini Naidu. In this paper we have reflected mental harassment or emotional abuse through the literary work of famous writer Shashi Deshpande. Her novel “ That Long Silence “ is about a character “Jaya” whose journey of self discovery is a difficult one. She is the victim of the patriarchal society that has denied her the freedom to pursue her dreams. The novel highlights the struggle of women in India. It shows how women are expected to conform to the norms of society and how they are often denied basic rights to make decisions about their own lives. Deshpande encourages women to take charge of their own lives and to be independent and self-reliant.

Abstract:
The crux of novels of Shashi Despande lies in the fact that, it’s not easy to sustain and survive as a woman with dignity in the patriarchal and tradition bound society. The venture may land them into tremendously disastrous situation. At the same time, the message communicated by Deshpande is loud and clear that they will not lie low suffering the pangs of their situation meekly. The protagonists would wage a war against the hostile human condition in which they are found trapped as if it were a cage. In this respect her writings are akin to the vision of Anita Desai unlike that of Arundhati Roy, Shobha De and Manju Kanpur. Despande and Anita Desai evolve a balance between traditional demands and circumstantial compulsions and renegotiate their will to transcend the facticity they are plagued with.

Abstract:
In the twenty-first century, gender discrimination persists, and equality remains elusive in a society deeply rooted in misogyny. Shashi Deshpande's novel, "A Matter of Time," serves as a compelling narrative that sheds light on the struggles women face within the confines of gender inequality. Over generations, we witness how society grants varying degrees of freedom and independence to boys, perpetuating disparities in emotional well-being and adaptability to their environment. The novel's plot delves into the lives of three generations of women, exploring their individuality, values, and attitudes towards their circumstances. As they transition into married life and move into their in-law families, the women find themselves ensnared within a confined space. Shashi Deshpande uses her literary prowess to articulate the personal experiences of women in this marital context, reflecting the coops they often find themselves in. The novel unearths the stark reality of gender inequality entrenched in the stereotypical social roles assigned to women. In a strongly patriarchal Indian society, women of all ages remain shackled to their homes and are subjected to inferior treatment compared to men. Even the slightest deviation from prescribed norms leads to societal rejection, making it evident that the battle for gender equality is far from over.

Abstract:
This paper is the display of oppression and conflicts of women protagonist of Shashi Deshpande’s novels, in the name of traditions and modernity as well as the paper discusses about response of the protagonist to emergence of all the obstacles she faces in the modern Indian society. Also the paper discusses about their intellect and patience of the characters to deal with the problems that somehow reflects positive vibes for the women in contemporary Indian middle class society. For this article, I have taken three important novels The Dark Holds No Terrors, Roots and Shadows and That Long Silence in particular but discussed almost all the works in general. If I were a man and cared to know the world I lived in, I almost think it would make me a shade uneasy–the weight of that long silence of one-half of the world.”- Elizabeth Robin Shashi Deshpande has one of the unique ability to portray different characters from the modern urban families and she displays these characters in a very realistic manner to connect directly with the readers. Her novels firstly explore the tension, sorrow, pain, agony, struggle and deceit of the protagonist in Indian society who always oscillates between traditional moral and modernity, freedom and restrictions, freedom of sex and prestige of the society, desire and despair, orthodoxy social practices and expectations etc. But somehow the protagonists struggle and focus to get place as a good daughter, wife, and mother.

Abstract:
Space is defined as something void and available. It extends its liminality to time, physical, and mental boundaries. Virginia Woolf’s notion of women’s productivity depending on space, freedom, and economic independence is much quoted in feminist writings. Influenced much by Virginia Woolf, Shashi Deshpande, writes mainly on the conundrums of Indian familial scenarios focused on women. Her writings are notable for the quest her characters undergo to replenish their ‘self’. The study aims to probe the prerequisite availability of space in the context of women in the family (married women) to nurture their self-psyche. The idea that women are not getting enough space to do so is the underlying argument of the study. This article finds out the notion of space being a necessity for assessing the self, vital in conceiving the quest for the same to be possible in Shashi Deshpande’s That Long Silence. The Conceptualization of mind speculates a philosophical framework that advocates for the delineation of a distinct spatial realm for women, primarily aimed at fostering the cultivation and development of their intellectual faculties. This designated space, termed as "Noetic Space" within the context of this scholarly inquiry, serves as a dedicated environment conducive to the nurturing of a woman's cognitive and contemplative capacities. This conceptualization reflects the nuanced interplay between Confucian philosophical doctrines and the deliberate spatial considerations envisioned for the optimal intellectual advancement of women.

Abstract:
Feminism is a rapidly developing critical ideology of great promise. In the words of M.K. Bhatnagar, "Feminism in the Indian context is a by product of western liberalism in general and feminist thoughts in particular". With the social and cultural change in post independence India, women find themselves standing at the cross-roads. On one hand it is the consciousness of a changed time and on the other, the socio-cultural modes and values that have given them defined role towards themselves, have led to the fragmentation of the very psyche of these women. Caught between two worlds, they need to define themselves, their place in society and their relationship with surroundings. Anita Desai and Shashi Deshpande have constantly sought to come to grips with these problems of Indian womanhood and vividly and realistically portrayed the 'women question' and 'feministic traits' in their novels. If comparative study is the study of literature across national, political and linguistic boundaries, feminism is the comparative work across boundaries of gender and culture. The main concern of this paper is to present a comparative study of the note of feminism in the best words of both these feministic writers, i.e. Anita Desai's Cry, The Peacock and Shashi Deshpande's That Long Silence.

Abstract:
This article explores the poignant depiction of the hardships faced by women in Shashi Deshpande’s novel Small Remedies. Through an in-depth analysis of the characters, narrative, and plot, the researcher underscores how Deshpande skillfully exposes the societal structures that lead to gender inequality in Indian society. Each individual in the world has experienced some form of hardship. There are wounds which cannot be mended or forgotten. Majority of a girl’s life will be suffering, which will follow her around like a bad dream. When kids don’t get the love they need, they feel worthless and a lot of them end up drifting away from their families and becoming rebellious adults. In order to get what they want out of life, they need to be directed, motivated and encouraged both by family and society. Women learn to approach the world more cautiously as a result of their painful experiences. They crave for their parents’ attention and love while they are young. This study examines the impact of hardship and trauma on Savitribai and her daughter Munni in Shashi Deshpande’s Small Remedies. The degree to which the pain disrupts one’s life differs from person to person. The novelist consistently uses her characters to show the range of emotions that arise when living in a patriarchal society, including anguish, wrath, misery, disappointment and distress. Most of her protagonists are lonely introverts. This study emphasises the characters’ disappointments and the childhood trauma that has left an indelible mark on their adulthood. This paper ultimately sheds light on Deshpande’s narrative as a critique of patriarchal society, emphasizing the need for women’s emancipation and self-determination. It offers readers an interpretative lens to understand the novel's thematic richness, its representation of gender dynamics in a traditional Indian context, and its call for reformative societal change.

Literature serves as a mirror to society, with authors articulating societal behaviors through their works. Indian English novels provide a comprehensive platform for studying culture, cultural interactions, and cultural transformations, with a focus on Indian perspectives. A peek into the imaginative realm of the masters of Indian English novels reveals a cosmopolitan ensemble representing diverse religions, communities, professions, and viewpoints. The Indian milieu is eloquently portrayed through the lens of human psychology. Indian authors such as Mulk Raj Anand, Arundhathi Roy, Shashi Tharoor, Shashi Deshpande, and Khushwant Singh voice their concerns in their writings, advocating for the state and psychology of Indian society. In his dissertation, the researcher aims to assess the perspectives presented in Khushwant Singh’s novel, I Shall Not Hear the Nightingale, employing the psychological and postmodern approach known as Schizophrenia.

Abstract:
Patriarchal domination and female submissiveness are common phenomena in almost all societies and cultures. Shashi Deshpande, an Indian female novelist, describes all kinds of visible and invisible physical, psychological, and ideological oppression caused by patriarchy in microscopic details in her novels The Dark Holds No Terrors and Roots and Shadows. Deshpande celebrates the freedom of women by creating two strong female characters, Sarita and Indu, who pay attention to their inner consciences, celebrating female emancipation and feminine identity. The patriarchy controls a notable proportion of female characters in English literature who remain silent, passive, and inactive. William Shakespeare's Desdemona, Ophelia, Thomas Hardy's Tess, Emily Bronte's Catherine, Isabella, Charlotte Bronte's Bertha Mason, and D. H. Lawrence's Miriam are all depicted as being helpless, frail, and feeble at the hands of patriarchy. Deshpande, on the other hand, is successful in showing how her female protagonists transform and become more aware of their place in society. Through these two selected novels, she depicts patriarchal dominance and the frustration that women encounter in marital relationships. Therefore, the general objective of this paper is to portray the lifelong struggle of women to find their genuine identities and a position for themselves in families, societies, and cultures. This study attempts to unravel the true nature of patriarchy, which persists in society in different shapes and forms to confine women by despising their inner strength and individuality.

Abstract:
In That Long Silence, Deshpande portrays the life of Jaya, an educated, married writer. As a writer, she should be able to use her thinking and analytical skills to show the problems and contradictions in society in her writing. However, this does not happen for several reasons. She has to surrender to family and societal pressures. Not being able to say or write what she feels like saying or writing, she is forced to write what patriarchal society wants to read or hear. Even though she is educated, she remains silent against the injustices that have befallen her. Not only Jaya but also the other women characters portrayed in the novel— Jaya’s mother, grandmother, cousin Kusum, her widowed neighbor Mukta, and the women in general— have also maintained silence for centuries. Deshpande goes on to show how the social environment, as well as family preaching and practices, play a significant role in this. When Jaya gets time to reflect on the happenings of her life, she finds herself in a dilemma about what to do and what not to do. This paper aims at analyzing the factors, taking into consideration the comments and observations by other critics and theorists as well, responsible for Jaya's crisis in particular and the misery of women in general, as well as showing how, through introspection, Jaya, the representative of modern women, comes out of her victimization and crisis and breaks her long silence.

Abstract:
Feminine sensibilities and gender issues are based on different cultures and diasporic essence. The desire and aspirations of women of different countries are not similar. Their demands are influenced by a number of variables, including familial, societal/racial, marital, economic, cultural, and personal ones. It is considered incorrect to compare Indian feminism to western feminism, which is characterised by radical rules, in such a varied culture. In its early stages, Indian feminism was wholly liberal and addressed every facet of mankind. There hasn't been a significant political or social uprising in India against the male-dominated culture. In beginning, they seek to address the inequality and dissimilarity that existed between males and females. They desired to bridge the gaps between men and women through their social revolt and provide the psychological reason for the male violence against women. Some feminist intellectuals extended the gender issues focusing the intention on rape and other forms of sexual violence. To them, such gender issues of exploitation are because of the male dominant society. They agree with Liberal feminists that material change and patriarchy is the sole reason for women's discrimination. They argue against the existing tradition of love, marriage, and gender inequality and demand equal social rights. The women writers like Shashi Deshpande have used fiction to explore and share their experiences. The myriad conflicts, which they face in everyday lives, are woven into the fictional world of their creation. To Shashi Deshpande, traditional beliefs also play a major role in female discrimination.

Abstract:
Indian fiction in English has been enhanced by a few proficient women writers, including Kamala Markandaya, Anita Desai, Nayanatara Sahyagal, Attain Hosain, Santharamarau, Shashi Deshpande, and Shobha De. They encompass a women's point of view on society. They have illustrated Indian women, their battle, their misery, and their awkward position, keeping in view their picture and job, which the general public has made. Their central devotion comprises investigating the ethical quality of women characters and their battle with difficulties in making their personalities. Since the start of civilization, that has been a great effort to emancipate women from male oppression. In the past, the work of women authors has consistently been underestimated because of some patriarchal assumptions. Feminism is an expression of unjust treatment meted out to any woman. This research paper has thrown light on the realistic characters of the novelists Jaya and Karuna from That Long Silence and Socialite Evenings, respectively. It has shown the broad light on how they self-articulated themselves after a decade of silence.

The present paper aims to study the transformation of the protagonist Jaya, who has been playing the roles of mother and wife perfectly, feels estranged and lonely. Her married life becomes uninteresting and mechanical. Towards the end of the novel, she recovers her lost identity and tries to get rid of the silence prevalent between her and her husband. Gradually, she emerges as a “New Woman”, who is career minded, independent, confident and seeking equal rights for her. She becomes responsible and takes her life in her own control and does not like to be advised by others. The novelist has presented a woman not complying according to the wishes of her husband and who transforms herself; rather than following blindly the instructions of her husband, she achieves a sense of responsibility and decides to act accordingly.

The present paper is an attempt to discuss the postcolonial women writers of India like Shashi Deshpande and Kamala Markandaya belonging to two different decades and significantly projecting the quest of ‘self’ by their women characters in terms of pre-set social institution. This perennial expedition of women for their identity in the male-chauvinistic society is not restrained to India, but traverses across the world. The unending struggle of women to opt between the idealised womanhood by the society and the ‘self’ has been astoundingly dealt by Despande in Roots and Shadows and Markandaya in Nectar in A Sieve. The discussion is majorly concentrated on the role of the idealised womanhood as a barrier in the quest of identity and surpassing the hurdle to achieve one.

Abstract:
Shashi Deshpande is a well-known name in the field of Indian literature and is a contemporary writer from Karnataka. She portrays in her novel "A Matter of Time" the truth of Indian society in Indian families. The importance of culture for Indian women is also discussed. Her novels are distinguished for their genuine depictions of the Indians and their history. She used Indian names and the role of Indian Middle Class Women in her novel A Matter of Time through the character Sumi. She talks about Indian Women, Indian Culture, Indian Religion, Indian Family, Religions and Beliefs, Family Traditions, and Emotions, among other topics. A Matter of Time is a multi-generational novel that moves around the plight and predicament of Indian women whose lives are deeply rooted in Indian beliefs, superstitions, conventions and traditions. Women have been living and breathing silently for thousands of years under the umbrella of patriarchy and with their "gazing." With the foundation of patriarchy, the disparity between man and woman, in its unwritten form, has developed through language, customs, rituals, myths and practises. Myths, rituals, and customs contribute to the evolution and establishment of human society. They are naturally developed, but are indeed societal buildings and help in developing patriarchal ideologies. They are believed to be natural. They are, therefore, essential to women's subjugation in our society.

This present paper attempts to critically analyse the selected novel of Girish Karnad _Nagamandala. Girish Karnad, as a dramatist, is free from any such feminist tags and like Shashi Deshpande, an Indian woman novelist, treats ‘woman as a woman’ and as ‘a human being’. As a male feminist, he has treated the feminist issues like child marriage, loveless marriage, exploitation of wife in the hands of husband, double standards of society and law operating against her in the society etc. It also expresses the hollowness and injustice of patriarchal society. He insists that it is not patriarchy but matriarchy which is essential for society. Thus, the refined sensibilities of woman like love, sex, compassion and tolerance make her unsurpassable in the society. The pride of woman also finds a space in his play Naga Mandala.

Abstract:
ffect Studies is an interdisciplinary cognitive science that incorporates and simultaneously discusses human psychology, medical humanities, science and technology, philosophy, history, politics, sociology, ecology, gender and queer studies, literary studies and critical theory. It also manifests various mental aspects of affective consciousness that introduce the academic cross-examination of emotional responses and experienced feelings to the social occurrences and structures of our familiar world. Affect Studies, thereby, shows the effect and reflection of social factors on the mind of people individually or collectively in diverse neural communication of human brain areas to focus on personal, social, cultural, religious, historical and political affairs. It raises affect theory as a dominant paradigm of twenty-first-century literary studies that attempts to bridge the gap between biological, psychological and social manifestations in contemporary textual criticism. Affect theory is a non-linguistic literary turn or approach to gender and sexuality, culture, society, media and communication, history, and politics and that measures mankind’s automatic feelings, emotions and reactions to the social and cultural predefined characteristics of the world. Shashi Deshpande has occupied the highly acclaimed position as a women writer in Indian English Literature and most of her writings minutely represent women’s traumatic memories and psychology, dilemma, day-to-day feelings over the poignant issue of gender discrimination, sexual harassment, rape and pregnancy, domestic violence and oppression, the traditional code and conduct of the marriage system, the melodrama of the man-woman relationship, and the crisis of women’s space and freedom in the androcentric society of India. This research paper aims to examine the theoretical discourses of affective turn to the integrated but controversial relationship between gender, culture and society in Shashi Deshpande’s ‘The Intrusion and Other Stories’ (1993). It also evaluates Deshpande’s textualization of the abstract emotion, sense of alienation and despair, sorrow and pain, inner conflicts and typical unhappy feelings of Indian women in the articulation of her female characters, their struggle for identity, and their negotiations and reactions to the matter of gender discrimination and alterity, sexual violation and marital rape, unwanted pregnancy, domestic violence and exploitation, the conventional marriage system and marital discordance, and the subjugation of women’s identity.

Abstract:
A literary Catharsis is the climaxing effect created by the causes in the course of the novel. It can have different release in accordance with the objective of the creator. Reconciliation relieves the tension and anxiety built by various occurrences. The novelist’s social seasoning paves such a kind of sleek path in the Indian social context. Women condition in the patriarchal society, Women are considered as inanimate objects. As they are imbibed with the male oriented society, they could not fulfill their desires even in writing. Male dominated society oppressed her desires. Shashi Deshpande’s protagonist Jaya in That Long Silence, could not fulfill her desires in her writing and also she is disappointed in her married life. When Mohan, Jaya’s husband, had caught in a financial scam, he blamed Jaya with negligence of duty and in sincerity to him. Jaya wanted to contradict but she could not because she was advised by her Ajji, her grandma, to keep silence. So she did not retort and moved to accept mutual responsibility in marriage. She has shaped herself to the wishes of Mohan. Jaya realizes that she had to conflict her own battle and derive her own solution. Accordingly she understands the necessity to break the silence, formulate her predicament and establish her identity. She feels that there is always space for discussion and reconciliation. She decides that she will not renounce the identity or the individuality. She will make the strategy of reconciliation but it will not be a servile one. That Long Silence can be read as apparent of memory and catharsis. Shashi Deshpande highlights the social evils of power structures designed by the patriarchal society. The Protagonist of “That Long Silence” overcomes the Catharsis of the insitu pressures not by revolution or rebellion but by the strategy of reconciliation. The social experience of the novelist drives her so gentle towards this kind of Cathartic release.
