| Summary: | The impact colonizers have had on South Asian nations, particularly India, has been
immense, and one can see it exhibited in many aspects of the societies, its people, and their
lives. Specifically, the coming and going of the imperialists has left its mark in India in the
minds of people and in the form of changes to the conditions of women’s lives, as well as in
feminists and feminist movements. In spite of the unmistakable progression made towards lives of both urban and rural Indian women, the answer to the debate about the extent of such a development remains ambivalent. The aim of this thesis is to argue that the selected texts showcase improvements
in the conditions of women in India, but also suggest that much more need to be done.
Gender inequality, and its issues which lie at the root of India’s societal system, has yet to be
completely resolved despite activists consistently addressing and attempting to tackle them. |
