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
