Abstract

Nayantara Sahgal is one of the renowned authors of Indo-English writing in the stream of national consciousness. In the 1950s, the first wave of major female authors started publishing their work. Kamala Markandaya, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Santha Rama Rau were all active on the literary scene. During this period, Nayantara Sahgal emerged as one of the most significant voices in the realm of Indian English fiction Nayantara Sahgal was born in Allahabad on May 10, 1927 into one of India's most prominent political families.
Nayantara Sahgal's novels cover a wide range of topics, from personal dilemmas and problems, joy and troubles, the satisfaction and disappointment of the protagonist to the political turmoil since India's independence. Her proximity to political power allows her to project a reality.She is one of India's for most socio-political novelists and her novels present a valid picture of free India. A nearby investigation of her novels uncovers that her two overwhelming themes – social and political are constantly plaited one with the other. She is the main novelist who utilizes legislative issues as a foundation for her social themes. She takes up women's issues as the center to which the political issues frame a background, a thin facade. Her anxiety for women depends more on humanism as opposed to that of feminism. Her feminism does not go past regarding women as a person. To say it quickly, the novels of Nayantara Sahgal manage a wide scope of themes extending from individual quandary and issues, delights and distresses, fulfillment and dissatisfactions of women heroes to the political changes, that India has encountered since freedom.
