Manipulation Of Women In The Glory Of Sri Sri Ganesh By Mahasweta Devi

Abstract

According to Dr. Satpal Singh, ‘The term exploitation involves the employment of people for one’s purposes, and it shows colonial holdings.’.(Singh 7) As Dr. Satpal Singh observes:

‘Mahasweta Devi is one of those writers who have exerted their creative valour to produce dynamic literature to depict their world. Unlike her other contemporary writers, her works result from her confrontation with the existing social system. She is one of the foremost literary personalities, a prolific and best-selling author in Bengali of short fiction and novels, and a deeply political social activist who has been working with and for tribal and marginalised communities. She was born in a privileged class Bengali family on January 14, 1926, in the city of Dhaka in East Bengali (modern-day Bangladesh). She was born and brought up in a literary ambience, as both of her parents were national intellectuals and literature stands. It was a family with a long tradition of civic spirit and high literacy’.(Singh 20-21)
