How far Men are the Culprit of Women Predicament in Anita Desai’s Novels?

Abstract

Human existence has been multidimensional for both men and women. Beginning with man’s creation to that of his physical structure extended to his career, man dominates the other (woman). As P.M.Nayak suggests:”Human experience has only been a masculine experience, in other words a malist experience” (Nayak,1). Man has been glorified from all angles and all fields. Even in the literature we find male domination. The aim of this research paper is to analyze how far men are responsible for the distributed psyche and predicament of women in the novels of Anita Desai.
