The present study sets out to highlight and incorporate the feminist issues raised by Shashi Deshpande in The Binding Vine. This study also attempts to place in a critical perspective the feminist assertion in the novel of modern living Indian women novelist. While attempting to determine the shift in general literary sensibility in the novels the study directs attention on women’s awakening consciousness and her confrontation against a male dominated, tradition-oriented society. Though the methods of interpretation vary in their complexity and also in accordance with the problematic of the novelist, the Indian woman being at the center emerges as a human being, essentially Indian in sensibility and likely to remain so in the near future.
