Image of ‘New Women’ in Shiva Trilogy: A Study

Abstract

The idea of the "New Woman" has generated a lot of discussion in society and caught the interest of both people and social observers. The phrase, which dates back to the nineteenth century and persisted into the twentieth, rose to popularity thanks to the writings of authors like Henry James and Sarah Grand, most notably in their essays "The New Aspect of the Woman Question" from 1984 and "The New Aspect of the Woman Question," respectively. Feminism's vision of the "New Woman" represents the tenacity and resolve needed to change a predominately male-dominated society. Amish Tripathi's Shiva Trilogy has given ancient legends new dimensions in the field of Indian mythological literature. In his works, Amish Tripathi, a well-known modern voice in Modern Bharat, deftly weaves the essence of Indian culture and tradition. His writing acts as a link between the past and present, enabling readers to reconsider, reinterpret, and value India's rich cultural heritage. This essay examines the mythic fiction trilogy by Amish Tripathi, which includes The Immortals of Meluha (2010), The Secret of the Nagas (2011), and The Oath of the Vayuputras (2013). Instead of concentrating merely on conventional ethics, the research emphasizes how female characters are portrayed and how they embody specific features in the story. This investigation helps us comprehend more fully how Tripathi's writing influences the reshaping and celebration of feminine ideals in the context of Indian mythology and modern literature.
