Deplorable Social Status of Women in Laxman Mane’s Upara

Author : Dr. Saveen Souda

Abstract :

We the individuals dwell in a beautiful living organism where everyone has equal right to luxuriate everything present in nature. So far as the communities in every nation are concerned, all of them have adopted their ways of leading life. The people have their independent culture and they behave accordingly. Had the anomalous people of one country or community not been fighting and trying to have ascendancy over another, the whole world would have walked the earth harmoniously. But this battle has not remained limited up to the hegemony of either one nation over the other or a community over the other but it has crossed its limits and reached at the tormenting of the male over female in many countries and in numerous communities. The paper has limited its scope and focused on the harassment of tribal women with reference to the celebrated autobiography Upara by Laxman Mane.
