Oppression and Marginalization inMahashweta Devi’s Works
Main Article Content
Abstract
Mahasweta Devi is a modern-day writer who addresses all of these types
of oppression in her writing. The fervour of activists in Mahasweta Devi's writings, which symbolizes her commitment in the issues of the impoverished, sets her apart from other writers, male and female. By exposing the various forms of oppression ingrained in Indian society and advocating for their rights, it offers voice to the voiceless. Mahasweta Devi's approach to oppression is distinct because, in contrast to most women writers, Devi addresses the problem of gender oppression as it is embodied in the class and caste dichotomies that affect middle-class and upper-class women. So, the aim of writing this paper is to show her writings examine the many forms and patterns of oppression, including class, caste, and gender oppression.
