  • Gender Discrimination, Sexism and Violence: a Study of Vijay Tendulkar’S Selected Plays Ratan Chandra Das Asst
    International Journal of Humanities & Social Science Studies (IJHSSS) A Peer-Reviewed Bi-monthly Bi-lingual Research Journal ISSN: 2349-6959 (Online), ISSN: 2349-6711 (Print) Volume-II, Issue-II, September 2015, Page No. 102-108 Published by Scholar Publications, Karimganj, Assam, India, 788711 Website: http://www.ijhsss.com Gender Discrimination, Sexism and Violence: A Study of Vijay Tendulkar’s Selected Plays Ratan Chandra Das Asst. Professor, Dept. of English, Eastern Christian College, Dimapur, Nagaland, India Abstract „Indian Women‟–at one point of time, during the Vedic ages, were treated at par with men and were given all the rights that men enjoyed in those days; then and now- virtually no difference between men and women but in real life, the pathetic condition of majority of women in our country is not hidden from any one. Exploitation, harassment, physical and mental torture are a daily thing in the life of most of the women in India. Though one section boosts about advancement and improved life style of Indian women, there is the other section that is even denied fundamental rights and is leading a dilapidated life. Discrimination against women can be seen from the womb as the female foetus are aborted, education has been denied for them and forced to act as slaves in their own houses as well as in the houses of their in-laws. Women have to suffer for dowry, which may lead to suicide or murder. Women have been treated as an object of luxury and lust. In our patriarchal society, male domination has reduced them to nonentity and have been bartered, sold and used as stepping stones for the so-called success that male race enjoys.

  • An Ecofeministic Study of Selected Poems of Sugathakumari and Kamala Das
    SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH Vol. 9, Issue 1, January 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.24113/ijellh.v9i1.10892 Green Shades of Feminity: An Ecofeministic Study of Selected Poems of Sugathakumari and Kamala Das Midhuna M Suresh MA English Language and Literature University of Kerala Kerala, India [email protected] Sreejitha P S MA English and Comparative Literature Pondicherry Central University Pondicherry, India [email protected] Abstract The discourse on feminism and ecology is familiar in literary studies as well as in socio- cultural scenario. But it seldom merged with each other-it has probably only been five decades since Indian literature has started discussing Eco feminism. Eco feminism, in short, blends the theories of feminism and ecology. This research paper critically analyses poems of the prolific Indian writers Sugathakumari and Kamala Das who always fought for upholding the women’s issues and conserving the nature. The paper aims to study their writings through the lenses of Ecofeminism, to treat them as their unabashed political commentaries on women and nature. Keywords: Sugathakumari, Kamala Das, Eco feminism, Environment, Women, Poetry. www.ijellh.com e-ISSN: 2582-3574 p-ISSN: 2582-4406 206 SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH Vol. 9, Issue 1, January 2021 1. Introduction Ecofeminism is a philosophical and political movement which combines the ideals of feminism and ecology, interpreting both as a result of the patriarchal society. “Ecofeminism is a movement that sees a connection between the exploitation and degradation of the natural world and the subordination and oppression of women.”(Mellor). The term Ecofeminism was first coined by Françoise d’ Eaubonne in 1974 in her contentious work Le Feminismeoula Morte.
