Fourth-Wave Indian Feminism Reflections in the Novels of Anita Desai and Manju Kapur

The current research paper examines feminism in India and the shifts in social perceptions of people and gender inequality from past decades to the present day. Feminism has progressed from ancient India to the modern era, reflecting changes in various societal aspects such as patriarchy, social inequality, intersectionality, and digital narratives. This study, titled "Fourth-wave Indian Feminism Reflections in the Novels of Anita Desai and Manju Kapur," connects itself to this developing feminist context. The exploration of the four waves of feminism highlights how each era has addressed women's issues and the distortions experienced during those times, along with the significant challenges posed by a male-dominated society as it seeks to create a more equitable society free from gender discrimination. Particularly it emphasis on inclusivity and intersectionality which addresses a wider range of issues compared to previous waves.
