Abstract

Sudha Murthy's novel Mahashweta explores the protagonist's journey from self-sacrifice to self-discovery, highlighting the societal issues and gender discrimination prevalent in Indian society. Sudha Murthy addresses the challenges faced by women, such as arranged marriages, neglect from in-laws, unsupportive husbands and social stigmas. Through the protagonist's transformation, the novel portrays the resilience and strength of women, emphasizing their ability to overcome adversity and achieve self-reliance. The protagonist's story serves as a powerful representation of the unheard voices of many women, breaking the age-old belief that women are only capable of domestic roles. Her journey from dependency to independence underscores the importance of inner strength and the potential for women to thrive despite societal constraints.
