Exploring Body Politics in Shashi Deshpande’s Roots and Shadows

Author(s) Neha Kapoor, Sunil Kumar Jha

Abstract Abstract:
Political, cultural, economic and historical account of the Indian tradition explain that women have been marginalized after the advent of Islamic invasion and the British colonial rule in India. Women have been denied of their economic, social and cultural rights. Under the control of British colonialism, capitalism and materialism, the body of the women became a site of political debate. Body which has its origination in the biological realities, in the process of its becoming, it attains the valency of power structure. The power structure inscribes its codes and oppressive rules through the process of signification on the body of the women. This ecriture on the body translates the biological body into a cultural object. The oppressive reality of capitalism transforms the essence of the body into an object or a finished commodity. The paper in the context intends to examine the reality of body politics in Shashi Deshpande’s Roots and Shadows.
Keywords Political, Cultural, Capitalism, Historical, Body, Power.
