Representation Of Sexual Exploitation In Bapsi Sidhwa’s Novel Water

Abstract

    This research sheds light on SusancBrownmiller's literary theory "Against Our Will: Women,Men, and Rape" in the context of Bapsi Sidhwa's, novel ‘Water’. Rape is one of the most horrific crimes in our culture, and victims are often the only ones who are negatively affected by it. The evil of rape has so drastically affected the lives of women in a patriarchal society that it is no wonder to find its clear depiction in literature and
    society. The novel ‘Water’ (2006) has highlighted child marriage and the unprotected sorrows of Indian women before independence. This study examines how marriage becomes a turning point in the lives of female characters in the selected text. How they are tortured in ashrams in
    particular and the ideological tensions they face in Indian society in general. The study is qualitative in nature, and the tool used for the analysis of the text is Content Analysis.
