Reenvisioning Equity: The Voice of Adivasi Women as represented in The Mysterious Ailment of Rupi Baskey

Author(s)	Simran Khajuria
Country	India
Abstract	The novel taken up for the paper, titled The Mysterious Ailment of Rupi Baskey, published in 2014, is considered as the first full-fledged Santhal novel to be written in English. It is a story about Kadamdihi, a Santhal village in Jharkhand, its people and their culture. As a sole Santhal writer writing in English, Shekhar aces up to bring the wide array of his women characters to the forefront and deviates from the usual trajectory of condescending and demeaning the community. He takes a jibe at the existing social and political order that denies the Adivasi women a complete access to their rights, snatching from them their sense of empowerment.
Keywords	gender, culture, marginal, Adivasi, women, equality.
