Abstract

Literature is the timeless and boundless realm of human expressions and it deals with life from time immemorial and is endless as long as life exists. Literature encompasses different aspects and realms of life and it explores the reality of life in multiple ways and each theme and character reflects society and people. It is a perfect vehicle for social commentary and exploration of social issues, challenging norms and advocating for change. Feminism is a prominent topic in literature, addressing various issues related to women in traditional society. They endured prejudice and masculine chauvinism for many years. Manju Kapur is a well-known novelist who has been greatly influenced by modern perspectives. ‘Difficult Daughters’ (1998) by Manju Kapur is an excellent literary lens that examines the significant transitions from tradition to modernity. The women characters of Manju Kapur make an urge to a higher stage. They struggle hard to have identity, self-sufficiency and education. Kapur's work skillfully captures the complexities of socio-cultural transition, sacrifices and difficulties that come with the transition from tradition to modernity. Virmati's life starts to symbolize the social changes that Indian society went through in the mid-1900s. The present paper delves into how Kapur appeals to Modern Perspectives in‘Difficult Daughters’.Â
