A Thematic Study of Kamala Das's Poetry from the Perspective of Revolt against Patriarchy

<p>Indo-Anglican poet Kamala Das<br>protested against the prevalent systems of<br>the Society. Her offended feminine selfwent on emotional wanderings attempting<br>to explore identity and freedom for her<br>own and the whole of women's creed.<br>Her sympathetic understanding and<br>explication revelation of the problem of<br>Indian women, in general, make her a<br>feminist. She is catapulted into a series of<br>situations where she becomes merely a<br>puppet in the hands of male domination.<br>Being bold, she protested and expressed<br>her frustrations, rancor, and loneliness<br>through poetry. Her poems epitomize the<br>dilemma of the modern Indian woman<br>who attempts to free herself sexually and<br>domestically from the role bondage<br>sanctioned by the patriarchal Society.<br>Thus, the voice of Kamala Das for<br>finding her own identity becomes the<br>voice of women for seeking better living<br>conditions and equal human rights for<br>themselves. </p>
