Contemporary fiction often visits mythological narratives for the comprehension of the masses and attempts to discuss how cultural identities, social roles, economic roles are pre-ascribed. The tale of the female characters is however written within the patriarchal boundaries, the roots of which can be witnessed in the event of the liberation of the Shero. The idea is to examine the power dynamics in social, political and cultural spheres surrounding the hero are constructed in modern fiction, also, while analyzing from this perspective, the ‘Shero’ of the selected texts regenerates and rises from the ascribed inferiority based upon her ‘Karmic Past’ which acted as the medium of oppression. However, it is noted that despite Tripathi’s marvelous attempt at her liberation from the dreadlock, he has sustained the patriarchal ideology that is preconditioned in most of the Indian households. The study aimed to decrypt the notion of how writers and critics of the new literary tradition are stuck in an illusory trap. And how one can still identify traces of patriarchal norms in this literary canon.
