Selected Short Stories of Mahasweta Devi: Crisis and Struggle for the Survival of Women’s Identity Somnath Chatterjee, Research Scholar, Department of Bengali, Cooch Behar Panchanan Barma University, West Bengal, India | ||
ABSTRACT | ||
It is from the inquiry into
life itself that the human crisis and struggle for survival begin. Since
literature serves as the verbal expression of society, it naturally reflects
the domestic and familial aspects of people’s daily lives. In the works of the writer Mahasweta Devi
(1926–2016), women forge a vital link—within their specific socio-economic and
cultural contexts— between their own individual identities and the environments
they inhabit. Their very modes of existence are invariably shaped by the
various forms of social discrimination and prejudice prevalent in society. Through an analysis of five selected short stories—
‘Giribala’, ‘Sanjh Sakaler Ma’, ‘Bayen’, ‘Dhauli’, and ‘Rudali’— this study
explores and illustrates the diverse manifestations of women's crises and
struggles for survival. | ||
