This study focuses on the novel Singarevva and The Palace (2002) written by Chandrashekara Kambar, a translation from Lakshmi Chandrashekar which was initially published in the Kannada Language as Singarevva Mattu Aramane (1982). The novel addresses the question of what it is to be the gender because of Masculinity, Sexuality, Fertility, and Power in association with the caste. The textual analysis method is used to investigate and show how the author has complexed the questions through his portrayals in the novel, which is the prime argument of this paper.
