Abstract

Women by nature are very sensitive, sacrificing and great home makers. Their suffering has mellowed them down and given them an edge over their male counterparts. A major preoccupation in recent Indian women writing is a peep into a delineation of interpersonal relationships. Kapur is one of the women writers from India whose protagonists are women trying to maintain a balance all the time. Their suffering has made them strong and they are struggling to set themselves free from the shackles of tradition and various prejudices. Through her characters she highlights the contemporary social issues. Kapur remains very candid and truthful in presenting the women and the challenges they face in their personal, religious and socio- political levels. Almost all the female characters of Kapur are educated aspiring individuals cased within the confines of a conservative society. Their education leads them to independent thinking for which their family and society become integrant of them. They struggle between tradition and modernity and develop the awareness of the new woman, marriage, the social institution, trap and curb their spirit by binding them to the responsibility of a home.

Keywords: Relationships, marriage, tradition and modernity, emergence.
