The nineteen nineties has been the most significant decade for the Indian novels in English as it brought about a number of important changes in literary discourses. From time to time, various scholars and eminent critics of evaluate and interpret the major works of the major writers of this decade such as Anita Desai, Kamala Markandeya, Nayantara Sahgal, Shashi Deshpande, Arundhanthi Roy, Githa Hariharan, Manju Kapur and many other significant names. However, it is clear that Indian feminist movement was meticulously carved by the Indian women novelists as they were highly conscious of the women's liberation movement. By and large they have portrayed women and their stories with consciousness of the injustice being meted out to women by society. These novels have a feminist undercurrent, having woman as the central character. These women mostly rebel against the existing social set up and discard the idea of being submissive, suffering and sacrificing. The present paper aims to depict the different representations of women that Indian-English women novelists have depicted in their novels. In India, the concept of independence, the pursuit of character, protest and the spirit of resistance have always remained alien concepts when they have been used for women. However, these Indian women novelists innately understood the worries and presented women as someone who fights against the cover-up and abuse of a male-dominated society. The novels of these women novelists express cruelty, pain, and hopelessness they experienced themselves living in a patriarchal culture. Thus, it can be said that their work has shaped the experience of women in Indian English fiction and beyond.
