The novel is a story about a helpless, lady Ammu who is abandoned by her family meets her sad fate. It shows her constant struggle to make both ends meet. She struggles, repels but in the end succumbs to the innumerable harms done to her. The God of Small Things truly brings about the position of the womenfolk in India. It presents before us the constant struggle of the women against their incessant exploitation, torture and struggle which they undergo because to the male dominated conservative framework. The set up of the society is such that it has title or nothing to offer to the unfortunate forsaken women like Ammu, who are literally forsaken everywhere they go and the greatest pain of it all comes when they are inflicted by ones who are so called your ‘own people’. Arundhati Roy retorts against the notion that women are a weaker sex and are inferior to men. They are possibly there to look after the needs and satisfy his baser instincts. She mocks at their attitude and registers her poignant protest that woman is not an mere toy to be manipulated by a man as and when he likes.
