Abstract

This paper seeks to represent the portrayal of Indian women in V.S. Naipaul’s Indian travelogues – An Area of Darkness, India: A Wounded Civilization and India: A Million Mutinies Now. Naipaul’s three books on India, is not only a discourse of a diasporic individual who returns to his ancestral land to re-establish the severed ties with the homeland, it is also a cultural, social, political and economic representation on India towards the end of the nineteenth century. While portraying the lives of Indians in these three books, Naipaul has also portrayed how the Indian women cope with the changing society. Though years of discrimination and subjugation hold them back, Indian women gradually stand up against the patriarchal society and Naipaul’s on his three books on India record how these women cope up with the changing societal norms.
