Voice of Voiceless in Indian Society in MamtaKalia’s Selected Poems

Abstract

Indian Writers of English have also come out of their cocoons and started to raise voice for the voiceless in their society.This paper highlights how the women in India subjugated and marginalized under the code of tradition and conventional with reference to MamtaKalia’s selected poems, Oh, I’m fed up of being a Woman and Anonymous. MamtaKalia’s poetry discloses piercing awareness of the tragic destiny which comes with the very fact of being born a woman. From the view of patriarchal world, a woman has no autonomous existence, identity or liberation of will and she always exists in relation to others. In both the poems the poet expresses her ennui and discontentment of the unfair conventions.
