Abstract
Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is an Indian diasporic writer who creates nostalgia about Indian culture and the influence of female characters. An adolescent woman goes through several phases in connection with motherhood. The woman who feels affection for her children with joy or misery depends upon the patriarchal approach to her. Divakaruni’s novels expose the exhausted projection of a woman as a mere object in an essentially patriarchal framework that denies the women’s identity. The narrator observes how patriarchy promotes the oppression, discrimination and exploitation of women through the process of socialization.
