Feminine Well-Being: An Elucidative Fabrication Of Sudha Murty’s Gently Falls The Bakula

Abstract

Humans are the exquisite creation of God. This narration can be read in many facets of print media and is even discussed at infinite platforms. If this creation by the omnipresent is wearing the panache then the area of feminine well-being and its relevance and exigency in literature gathers the spotlight. Feminine well-being is not the biological difference between femininity and masculinity rather it is their social and cultural constructions in the society at large. The prominent Indian writer Sudha Murty through her works completely justifies the portrayal of her characters under this bracket. She is an eminent writer who skilfully pens down the social and cultural constructions of the males and females in the society. This paper presents an insight to understand her novel ‘Gently Falls the Bakula’ which stands at a pedestal in this rationale. The paper tends to create acumen and awareness among people to be more amenable and susceptible towards learning that feminine well-being is the pre requisite of a healthy nation. The novel even clarifies the concept of transcendence and aids the person to make right choices and decisions in life.
