Abstract: South India based author writing in Kannada, Sara Aboobacker expresses her suppressed perennial anguish which is very rampant in the Indian social set up regardless of any caste or creed. Not only do the mainstream authors represent the anguish and unrest thread but also the authors of the margins including the minority communities in India. To all the oppressions, the culture or religion has been the base. As racism in Africa, casteism and patriarchy in the Indian sub-continent that discriminates the women at different levels of humanity. Though Islam is fairly liberal religion with regard to its women’s status and honour, here is an instance of the culture or religion oppressing the human dignity portrayed in the novel Breaking Ties by Sara Aboobacker. The article is an attempt to study the Muslim protagonist in a rebellious illustration breaking the man made boundaries of religion.

Keywords: Culture, patriarchy, suppression, women discrimination, dignity.
