Feminism is a concept whose focus is women and the future of woman in society which is at the heart of a radical movement striving to create a brave new world for woman. Nayantara Sahgal who is a well-known Indian writer and a family member of one of the country’s most high-profile political family viz Nehru-Gandhi family. Nayantara Sahgal’s progress as a novelist, however bears testimony to the fact that she has been towards a definite feminist position, so that the women’s experience does not merely provide data but are actually organized in such a way that they become an exercise in raising consciousness and critic of society with its unequal gender roles and the power distribution involved in them. Sahgal presents in her novel Rich Like Us the problems that the contemporary women face in society and in their struggle towards self-realization. She not only deals with the questions of marriage, sexuality and woman’s equality with man but also raises the question of love, hatred, jealousy and certain other human emotions and values. Moreover, she also presents an antithesis between idealism and pragmatism, illusion, and reality. Sahgal has a humanitarian approach and is extremely sensitive to Indian womanhood as being wronged. In this novel, she reflects the tension between the predicament of the contemporary Indian woman and the traditional Hindu culture. She studies the social forces working on the psychology of Indian women.
