Author(s) Ms. Kalyani Sanjay Nawate
Country India
Abstract This research paper aims to explore the portrayal of women in the novel The Princes by Manohar Malgaonkar, focusing on the character of the Maharani and the concubines of the Maharaja. The novel is set in ancient India, it shows the secondary status of women have in society in ancient times, where their roles are primarily defined by the desires and decisions of men. Through the plight of Maharani who is a neglected wife and the concubines of the Maharaja like Bibi- bai, Amina Begam and Sherawathi, the novel reveals the themes of emotional isolation, societal oppression, silent suffering and the lack of agency granted to the women who belongs to royal household. While the male characters dominate the plot, the silent battles and the suffering of women throws the light on the broader issues of women’s rights, marriage systems and social norms. In his novel the writer criticizes the tradition of limiting the women to duties duty and sacrifice, using the Maharani’s desire for love as a symbol of resistance to the injustice of her situation. This paper examines how the novel depicts the struggles of suppression, societal expectations and the other issues related to the gender inequality that are still relevant today.
Keywords Women’s suppression, Silent suffering, human bonds, extra-marital affairs, Secondary status and Human struggles.
