Abstract:
Shashi Deshpande’s name is synonymous with Indian writing in English. Everyone has read her. She presents a realistic plight of middle class women who are torn between tradition and modernity and face a crisis of life internally. They are intellectual women who are confronted with existential problems like loneliness, emptiness, insecurities and disorientation. The present paper aims at analyzing in detail the existential concerns in some major novels of Shashi Deshpande.
