The ‘Other’ in Mamang Dai’s Stupid Cupid

Abstract	The northeast India is home to many ethnic groups with a rich tradition of oral, and in some cases written forms. Though the northeastern states are late bloomers in the Indian literature, in recent years there has been a considerable boom in north east fiction writings which are reflections of self, identity construction, issues on family and society. The paper proposes a feministic reading of Mamang Dai’s novel Stupid Cupid, inspired by the concept of ‘Other’ through two aspects. The first, as a woman in the patriarchal society and the second concerns the notion of ‘Other’ between the northeasterners and the mainlanders. The paper also tries to explore the themes of self and alienation in relation to the personal experiences faced by different individuals in the novel.
