ABSTRACT

Kamala Das: (31 March 1934 - 31 may 2009) the most polemic and impugn able feminine Indian writer, introduces the new trends of writing to the constellation of Indo Anglian writers. As a forerunner feminist she tries to establish strongly her notion of women's pitiable and helpless condition for the sake of unattainable love in this male dominated world. No one before her tried to express this harsh truth so boldly. Breaking all the orthodox manners and styles she avowedly and baldly depicts the nakedness of the society based with love, lust and sexuality. Unlike Sri Aurobindo, Sarojini Naidu and Taru Dutta, Mrs. Das like a true fighter dauntlessly exposes the theme and concept in her writing and opens a new gateway of modern literature. What makes Mrs. Das differ from others is her feminine sensibility, promiscuity in love psychic striptease, catholicity and above all new styles and dictions.
