FEMINISM AND POLITICS IN MEENA ALEXANDER’S“NAMPALLY ROAD”

Abstract

          Meena Alexander reflects upon her connection with South West India. Her writings characterize much of her Feminism and the Diasporic Consciousness, which is deeply rooted in India and in her Childhood Travels. Her work tends to center around strong and independent women who defy culturally imposed conventions. It involves a gentle emergence an evolution a sense of growth that is often as  gratifying as it is frightening. Her pages resonate with the sights and sounds indigenous to India. The novel presents a colourful landscape and women adorned in saris. The peace and serenity of this contemporary India is however, quickly eclipsed by the infiltration of the new culture and corrupt government. The aim of this paper is to analyse on the issues related to women, which a civilized society should not tolerate.
