Title of the paper : Liberal and Conservative Feminism in The God of Small Things

Abstract: The World War II was not a sudden phenomenon. It was the result of sadness, frustration and anxiety that came from capitalism, colonialism and social hierarchy prevalent in different sections of the societies everywhere in the world. India, the once colonized country, became independent but she could not make herself free from the ideologies of the social oppression, discrimination and patriarchy. Women suffered silent miseries. The novelist Arundhati Roy analyzed the same in her novel The God of Small Things. Though in modern India, changes are being felt everywhere, but old age customs, traditions and practices have not allowed filling hollow pores in hardcore stone relations of different sections of the Indian society. This paper is an attempt to unravel and critically analysis the feminist perspective in this work of Arundhati Roy
