Indian Drama and Social Realities

Literature can be looked at as a study of society. Society is often reflected in the works of literature. The author draws the picture of the society that she/he is part of knowingly or unknowingly. We have to investigate the literature of any given moment in connection with the then existing society W.H Hudson. Everything that man creates happens within the society or at least happens with the influence of society. When a writer writes a particular work, she/he is deeply influenced by the conventions which were inculcated at one point in time. These are reflected in her/his works. One can find the author either abiding by these social and cultural conventions or one can find her./him revolting against it. The revolt and rebellion through works of literature are often thwarted and become relevant only after a period of time when we revisit them.
