A Silenceof Desire: An Analysis of Sprituality and Conflict
Journal Title: Notions A Journal of English Literature - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
Kamala Markandaya probes deep into the swift changes of culture. Her novels depict the realistic picture of the Indian society which is continuously changing. She explores the conflicts and trends of Indian society and puts readers on the direction of resolution. She does not portray the dogmatic ideology rather she projects the drama of life and holds mirror to the society. She explores the human psyche in the context of intricate cultural values. Her novels skillfully manifest the concept of cultural continuity in the social, economic and political changes in modern India. The present paper attempts to show the conflict between old and modern values and how spirituality assists to resolve the clash.
