Through the play titled Matsyaganddhi, M.Sajitha has tried to pour light on the punitive life led by a fisherwoman who becomes a bystander of the fluctuating socio-political balances. Matsyaganddhi is about the toils of the fisherfolk and deals with their ostracized and relegated lives. Generally, the term ‘subaltern’ focuses on the social groups which are debarred from the society's time-honored configurations. In this study, I have attempted to show how M. Sajitha has given impetus for the marginal characters or Subalterns in her play titled, Matsyaganddhi by entwining and interlacing happenings and perceptions from the lives of fisherwomen to splinter dichotomies that create the fisherwomen’s nonconformity.
