Revisiting the Effects of Social Change on Indian Female Models in Indira Mahindra’s The End Play

Year, pages: 2016, 74 - 84

This paper discusses how Indira Mahindra’s The End Play (1995) represents the effect of social change on women’s ideology and the society surrounding the sequential female generations – the grandmother, the mother, and granddaughter. Hence, each female character represents a different model, thereby representing its own ideology and social position. The paper also explores the effect of social change in relation to issues such as marriage, work, women’s rights, divorce, betrayal, women’s virginity, and the stereotypical images of women – all of which are related to Indian Feminism. However, before embarking on this discussion, it is vital for this critical investigation to identify the concept of ideology, and feminist theories and movements in India.
