UNDERSTANDING THE VARIED FACETS OF FEMINISM IN MANJU KAPUR'S DIFFICULT DAUGHTERS AND HOME

One of the most heatedly disputed literary subjects in the world is feminism. There is a distinct branch of feminist authors in Indian English literature due to the wave's profound influence on Indian English writers, particularly women writers. Women have undergone significant transformation in post-independence Indian English literature. Instead of being reserved or silent, people now step out, defending their rights and expressing their uniqueness. One of the real feminists writing modern Indian English literature is Manju Kapur. She belongs to a group of female writers who discuss the status of women and explore many feminism-related topics, including psychological analyses of their female characters. This article aims to look at Manju Kapur's two novels, Difficult Daughters and Home, through the lens of feminism and see how her feminist perspective differs from that of Western feminism and even her contemporaries.
