Title

EXPLORING THE EXISTENTIAL CRISIS FROM MAHASWETA DEVI’S ‘BREAST STORIES’ AND ‘RUDALI’: A CRITICAL STUDY

Authors

Abstract

Abstract : Literature has long been serving as an essential element that bestowed predominantly upon the philosophical views of how life operates within the constraints of socio-political interventions. Many literary veterans have stirred the readers’ mind through their revelation of social imperfections and hegemony that has crippled the society. With the advent of modernity and post-colonial reformation in India had a scaffolding impact on the burgeoning literary growth which paved the way for Indian English Literature for addressing on various social flaws that are hindering the lives of the millions, who are facing existential agony and marginalization which has been the very cancer in our society which remains persistent for several centuries. The aid from some of the eminent minds from the field of literature has taken these issues into their shoulders. Among these great personalities, the contributions of Mahasweta Devi cannot be neglected, as her works were directly addressing the ‘Marginalization’ of women and the oppressed classes. Apart from her vast literary prowess, her activist impulse and compassion towards socially oppressed classes appears beyond our description to contemplate. The protagonists in her works are being pushed to the very extent of existential agony and distress by the elitist society, fighting back for their rights and rising above their hegemonic rulers or accept their fate and live their entire life under grief and desolation. This paper explores the ‘existential authenticity’ in select works of Mahasweta Devi.
