Abstract

Mahasweta Devi is one of those extraordinary writers who fought for the marginalised tribes of the country for the past six decades. She is a strange mix of an activist and a writer. Through her writings, she often depicts the brutal oppression of the tribal people by the money-lenders, upper class landlords, and government officials. As the crusader of the tribal people, Mahasweta Devi emphasizes on justice, mercy, equality, liberty, love and women empowerment. In this paper, the researcher has thrown light on how Devi warns the society of the dooming consequences of oppression as in the Book of Exodus.
