Abstract

Anita Desai's Clear Light of Day emphasises Indian women's endless struggle in the male dominated culture. Women are exploited and mistreated in virtually every area of the globe because of their gender. They should comply with the patriarchal concepts of society. Desai studied every area of a female life beautifully to enhance her socially and economically. The issue Desai and other authors observed in their environment as male dominant difficulties at home and in various places of work in society is mirrored in their writing. Certainly Indian women are subtle, delicate and meek, but at the right moment they are so enthused that they stand strong like rock and become a powerful force that adversaries cannot stand up and be destroyed. Anita Desai is the first writer to strongly convey both men and women's existential concerns. She is the first to expose her character to profound psychological inspection. Her imaginary universe is situated in human mind corridors. She is a subjective writer who uniquely depicts her characters. Her uniqueness and compassion distinguishes her from other authors. Anita Desai is trying to depict the psychological aspects in her books.
