ABSTRACT:
Sudha Murthy, an esteemed figure in Indian literature, has left an indelible mark on contemporary Indian literary discourse by addressing pertinent social issues and cultural nuances in her writings. Renowned for her sensitive and insightful writing style, Murthy possesses a deep comprehension of the complexities inherent in Indian society. In notable works like "Mahashweta," she casts a spotlight on issues of discrimination and social stratification in India, amplifying the voices of marginalized communities. Through her literary endeavors, Murthy encourages readers to engage in introspection regarding societal concerns such as gender disparity, child marriage, and the juxtaposition of tradition and modernity. Murthy's narrative tapestry is richly woven with elements of mythology, folklore, and the enduring essence of Indian culture. Her empathetic portrayal of characters grappling with societal constraints underscores her ability to capture the complexities inherent in Indian society. This research paper delves into the significant contribution of Sudha Murty to contemporary Indian literature, focusing specifically on her adept fusion of mythology and modernity.
