Kamala Markandaya’s tragic vision was created by her genuine concern for social awakening and welfare. As she was born in India, she was well aware of her country’s problems like hunger, starvation, and other social and economic issues. Also, she was aware of complications coming out of the growing East West relationships. She acknowledged these social perspectives and delivered them spontaneously in her novels. She presented these basic aspects of human life in her novels with a view to reform them In her different novels she had given her powerful messages of love, unity and brotherhood. Though she was a social reformer, a moralist and a visionary but always an artist with the soft feeling for humanity. The paper is an attempt to study how Kamala Markandaya had used powerful and befitting imagery in conveying her message of fortitude, adjustment and universal understanding.
