Abstract

That Long Silence, is not an imaginary story. It is a story that happens in every middle class and educated Indian woman’s life. This is a story of submission and assertion of a woman. The Indian women in this era are born at a time when there is much awareness about her rights, liberty to express her ideas, freedom to enjoy finance and the chance to stand for a cause. Still… the silence continues!
