Phallocentric Ideologies in Bapsi Sidhwa’s
The Pakistani Bride and Water

K. Siva Nandhini


Introduction

Pakistani Literature is a distinct literature that gradually came to be defined after Pakistan gained nationhood status in 1947, emerging out of literary traditions of the Indian Subcontinent. The shared tradition of Urdu literature and English literature of British India were inherited by the new states, Pakistan has emerged in nearly all major Pakistani languages, including Urdu, English, Punjabi, Balochi, Pushto and Sindhi. The nature of Pakistani literature soon after independence aroused controversy among writers due to its being centered heavily on the negative events related to the India-Pakistan partition.

Feminism, as a movement, has played a very vital role in projecting the suppressed status of women in the patriarchal society. The term ‘feminism’ signifies the emergence of female power in order to get rid of their excessive dependence on men. It is a worldwide movement to secure equality of women with men in enjoyment of all human rights–social, political, economic, moral, religious, educational, legal and so on. Feminism argues that woman should be left alone to live on her own strength and means to fight against the unjust system and obtain her own subsistence and thereby remove her dependent status. According to Simone de Beauvoir, a world where men and women would be equal is easy to visualize. Women reared and trained exactly like men were to work under the deplorable conditions and on lower wages.
