Sextet Reminiscence in Anita Nair’s Ladies Coup

Name of Author : V. Ganesa Moorthy

Abstract: Anita Nair is an Indian novelist who made her mark by not conforming to the prevalent trends in Indian English Literature. She has chosen her own way of writing and thus, also became the best seller and not only in the terms of the number of books sold but also in garnering the opinions and critically valued appreciation from the book and literary critics in India. She has tried hard to become the voice of true feminism in the contemporary Indian English literature, not like Shoba De and others who have rather turned feminism into a show where you get to see unnecessary demands of headless equality with men rather than essential necessities that can change the actual situations on the ground for women. Feminism has been subtly handled in the massive work of English novels of India, Feminism is defined as a cultural, economic and political movement that is focused towards establishing legal protection and complete equality for women. In Indian writing, feminism has been used as a humble attempt for evaluating the real social scenario as far as women are concerned. Today’s contemporary Indian English novelist are writing for the masses using the theme of feminism, which not only interests the readers but also affect them.
