Quest for Self-Identity and Freedom: A Critical Study of Women Characters in Bapsi Sidhwa’s Ice-Candy-Man

Author(s) Swati S. Kolekar, Dr Digambar M. Ghodke

Abstract Abstract

The present qualitative study aims to analyse the women characters in Bapsi Sidhwa’s Ice-Candy-Man (1982), also known as Cracking India (1988), by using a comprehensive analysis method. After analysing in the novel, which is set during the partition of India in 1947, the study found that the women characters seek self-identity and freedom in a multicultural society and a period of socio-political turmoil. These women struggle, and sacrifice for their existence. The novel depicts the difficulties such as societal norms, personal values, and external pressures confronted by the women characters in their pursuit of self-identity and freedom. The women characters in the novel face numerous challenges in the pursuit of personal identity and liberation in a conservative society. Going against societal expectations and challenging patriarchal norms, they pursue self-respect and create independent positions in society. The present study concludes with a remark that the struggle, fights, and desire for an independent existence of Bapsi Sidwa’s women characters bring into light the underlying feminist attitude and approach of both characters and the writer per se.
Keywords Keywords: characters, feminism, freedom, patriarchy, quest, self-identity, women, etc.
