    SARU AND JAYA’S JOURNEY FROM SILENCE TO SPEECH IN SHASHI DESHPANDE’S WORKS
    (Chainany E-Journal, 2020-12-01) SANGHVI, DR. MEHA VINESHBHAI
    Shashi Deshpande‟s realistic view as a true feminist on the condition of middle-class women is well expressed in all her novels but here the researcher has selected her two award-winning novels The Dark Holds No Terrors (1980) and That Long Silence (1988). The aim of this research paper is to examine the status of Indian women in this male–oriented world and her resistance, she offers to patriarchy with the reference of these two novels. Her novels offer a mingling of the patriarchal norms and conditions and how women had undertaken these traumas with compassion and understanding. Hence, Shashi Deshpande‟s all works of fiction are represented as the women‟s journey from „Silence to Speech’ and ultimately trying to find their own voices. Often these voices arise out of silences. Human issues, especially human dignity and problems, are at the heart of her writing. She sticks closely to daily life experience and problems of women that prevail even till today in our society; no one has been able to release from these shackles. Her ideas of women‟s liberation, autonomy are deeply surrounded in the Indian women‟s situation within the socio-cultural and economic spaces and paradigms of the country.
