Women novelists in English have portrayed the problems of personal relationships and have effectively created an inner drama that dramatizes the man woman relationship and have advanced themselves towards an innovative creation. Nayantara Sahgal is a sensitive and prolific novelist of Indian English Literature. Nayantara Sahgal distinguishes herself from her other contemporaries as an Indo English novelist of reputation Sahgal focuses on the recurring and prolonged conflict and struggle between the Hindu Culture, male defined norms and values and the plight of the typical Indian women in the contemporary society. Nayantara Sahgal’s works always have her own emotional and personal experiences as a fictionalized autobiography. In the present article, the scholar attempts to present the delineation of women characters in Rich Like Us. Rich Like Us is a lyric of political experience than a leaf of life captured dispassinately. Sahgal’s Rich Like Us does not seem to prove her inborn talent as a novelist but it has offered her a chance to personal purgation.
