This paper deals with this primordial pattern of dominance over women and the effects it has on women of different walks of life and how they absorb it. The Postmodern writer Ira Trivedi situates her novels that deal with the present generation love and sex. Her works include India in Love: Marriage and Sexuality in the 21st century, What Would You Do to Save the World?, The Great Indian Love Story and There's No Love on Wall Street. She has contributed immensely through fiction and nonfiction. Much of her works revolve around women and gender in India. The chosen novel for this paper The Great Indian Love Story is a social satire on Delhi high society. In this novel, Ira Trivedi has portrayed how women suffer from the archetypical system. One of the significant problems that women of marriageable age encounter is failing in their love because elders do not accept love and love marriage subsequently.
