Reclaiming the Silenced Queen: Marginalization, Decentering, and Contemporary Relevance in Kavita Kane’s Tara’s Truce

Author(s) Ms. Karnika Gawli, Prof. Dr. Ranjita Patidar
Country India
Abstract This essay will focus on Kavita Kane’s Tara’s Truce as a feminist revisionist
retelling that attempts to reclaim the marginalized voice of Tara, the queen of Kishkindha,within the patriarchal narrative frameworks of the Ramayana tradition. Through the application of poststructuralist ideas related to decentering and challenges to logocentrism, along with the precepts of feminism espoused by scholars like Uma Narayan, Chandra Talpade Mohanty, and Nancy Fraser, this essay will explore the manner by which this novel subverts the epic order and places emphasis on female subjectivity, agency, and leadership. The theoretical framework for this essay attempts to situate the narrative strategies deployed by Kavita Kane in Tara’s Truce within the frameworks related to feminism, ecology, and governance of contemporary debate, and demonstrates that Tara’s Truce is more than just a retelling of a mythological narrative; instead, it also represents the continued relevance of mythological retellings within the tradition of cultural critique and decolonial literary practice.
Keywords Feminist Retelling; Decentering; Poststructuralism; Marginalization; Intersectionality; Care Ethics; Mythological Revisionism; Ramayana; Female Agency; Environmental Consciousness; Contemporary Relevance.
