"FROM FEMININE TO FEMINIST CONSCIOUSNESS: A STUDY OF SHASHI DESHPANDE'S THE DARK HOLDS NO TERROR AND THAT LONG SILENCE"

The women characters of Shashi Deshpande’s novels have been studied from the socio-cultural point of view. Deshpande has portrayed a selected class of women and their predicament. Most of the protagonists, as well as, major women characters are middle-class educated working women. Mostly they belong to Brahmin family. Deshpande seems to have intended to show that, if financially independent and (so called) upper class women have to face problems of identity, the plight of their counterparts in the lower income groups would be still graver. All the protagonists of Deshpande have initially a good married life, but at a certain point of time or during a crisis, they become conscious about their lives and existence. The self assessment of their lives leads them to the path of identity quest. The woman characters are unhappy with their married life. Their unhappiness provokes them to realize their selves‘.Identity construction is a socio-cultural issue. A society that does not treat man and woman on the base of equality loses humanitarian outlook. This insensitive partiality results into the subjugation of women. Woman has been given the second position after man in every sphere of social activity everywhere in the world. India is not an exception. The formation of society and laws that bind it are variable from society to society. This distinguishes Indian society from the other, particularly the western society.
