Discrimination in the society among humans is a serious issue which has to be curtailed. Due to this discrimination, difference of opinion evolves which makes the adapted or immigrant society a weaker one losing all their rights and hope of living in the land. Racism is a brutal master taming the innocent people with iron chains. People suffer getting adapted and they are not accepted by the natives. They are discriminated for their race, class, caste, and gender. Though all the discrimination seems to be a serious one, racial issue is the worst of all. Racial discrimination prevailing in America is taken into consideration for analysis and particularly Afro-Americans. Afro-Americans undergo the stress brought by the white people. They are separated from the natives in the public places, schools, churches, and it extends wherever they meet. It is not confined to the elders but to the entire society of Afro-Americans. They are suppressed and oppressed and extreme tortures cannot be explained in words for it is related to subjugated feelings. Their non-violent struggle to come out from such cobweb of the society is nullified. Alice Walker’s The Color Purple is taken for analysing th concept of racial discrimination. Being a sufferer of the societal discrimination, she has portrayed the typical society with her characters. Though they are in the deteriorated state, they are in search of their individual identity and not with the racialised mask.

The Color Purple, racial discrimination, women discrimination, discrimination in native land.
