Manju Kapoor And Her Portrayal of Indian Life
Journal Title: Notions A Journal of English Literature - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
As a literary artist, Manju Kapoor can be put in the category of Jane Austen, Khushwant Singh, Namita Gokhale, Jhumpa Lahiri, Githa Hariharan, Shobha De. Nargis Dalal etc. She confirms the fact that Indian women novelists have a lot of valid facts to express about Indian society. They exist for something noble, sublime, decent, cultured and civilized. Like Jane Austen, Manju Kapoor stays within her limited range and never feels tempted to enter the utopian world of fairies, ghosts and demons and hence can’t be ranked with Horace Walpole, Maria Edgeuorth, Ann Redeliffe etc. There are no melodramatic scenes in her novels. Like Shakespeare and Milton, she concentrates upon human nature. As she had studied in Dalhousie University, Halifax, she got a chance to observe the people of Canada from different angles. Since she was interested with Canadian students, she knew their passions, ambitions and feelings.
