Abstract:
Women are the
torchbearers of the society, but they are held aback due to lack of their
physical attributes, which leads women into the cage of despair and hence
marginalized in the society. The marginalization and subjugation of women
enriches globally rooting from dominant patriarchal structures. The title Inside
the Haveli itself points out marginalization and subjugation of women by
the male dominant culture. “Inside” is an
emblematic of every woman who is restricted to the margin and is not valuable
for the outside world. “Haveli” stands for the
state of Rajasthan and grim condition of women in Rajasthan. The women in the
novel are trapped in a system like Catch-22 where they don’t have any
space. They are deprived of the facilities like education, basic right to
express and freedom of thought. The paper attempts to throw light on
marginalization and subjugation of the ignorant women characters who fail to
understand the fact that they are being marginalized by the patriarchal
society. This abstract enhances multifarious nature of oppression, encompassing
social, economic, and political strata’s, that limits the empowering face of
women.
