Voices of Resistance: Examining Patriarchy and Social Stratification in Indian Literary Discourse

Author(s) G. Pragna
Country India
Abstract The paper examines the complexities of patriarchy, social stratification, and intersectionality in the Indian literary discourse and their role in shaping identities and experiences of the marginalized communities. This paper marks the voices of resistance and agency that characters produce in the oppressive system of caste, gender, and class through the analysis of some prominent works by such authors as Kamala Das, Arundhati Roy, and Mahasweta Devi. The analysis busts the myth that literature can just be mere representation of the realities of the society but can be an important medium of breaking the ways things are accepted in a society because of inequalities which are laid out. Through the concept of intersectionality, the paper highlights that identity is a complex issue and people experience competing and overlapping social categories in shaping individual and group interests. These writers highlight the outstanding strengths of people who have faced systemic injustice through the stories of rebellions as these characters cry out in pursuit of recognition and social justice. Finally, as a conclusion of such an analysis, it is important to stress that literature represents one of the spaces where empathy and understanding may be built, helping readers to take an active part in the struggle of achieving equity in modern India.
