Abstract :
Even at the risk of sounding platitudinous one cannot help observing that a considerable number of men inhabiting the twenty-first-century, post colonial, globalized world contain within themselves both Brobdingnag and Liliput. No wonder then that in fields like science and technology we have made gigantic strides, while in the realm of ideas, in the domain of thoughts we have not moved much beyond our Neanderthal counterparts. Naturally, in many societies we build and mend multiple walls, we nourish and perpetuate age-old biases and mind-forged manacles to the disadvantage and detriment of everybody in general and women in particular. Especially in societies erected, directed and oppressively dominated by men, women are invariably at the receiving end. The present article, on the basis of a close study of The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and The Walled City by Esther David seeks to gauge the extent and plumb the depth of women’s sufferings caused by social reality forged largely by patriarchy, by antediluvian, retrograde, irrelevant, prejudiced and harmful ideas stubbornly held by men, by double standard applied by men.
