Woman in Indian society is not treated as a person but only as a possession. She is a victim not only of man’s inhuman attitude but also of the Hindu Dharma which maintains that wife is her husband’s property and has no individuality outside that system. In Indian English writing the woman sometimes maintains the image of a self-sacrificial woman, but sometimes she emerges as a revolutionary struggling for reshaping “self” in patriarchal set up of the Indian society
