Representation of Caste and Gender: A Critical Study of Tendulkar's Kanyadaan

Dr. Kavita Dubey

Abstract: Gender consciousness in Indian English drama is one of the most flaming issues which can be seen in the plays of Indian playwrights. Throughout about six decades of post - colonial narration of Indian English fiction, a wide variety of novelists have emerged focusing awareness on a huge number of divine issues, economic, political, spiritual, and social confronted by three corresponding periods of human experience. As we know that Vijay Dhondopant Tendulkar (1928 - 2008) is a leading and television leading Indian playwright. He is a movie and television writer. Besides these, he is a literary essayist, political journalist, and social commentator too, primarily in Marathi. It cannot be negotiated that his many plays derived inspiration from real - life incidents or social upheavals which provide a clear projection of the harsh realities.
