Abstract: ManjuKapur holds a prestigious position among the second generation of Indian English women novelists of the post-independence era. In her works, she concerns herself with the plight of urban, upper-middle-class, educated women and issues related to them. Self-discovery is an important theme in her novels. Judith K. Gardiner defines the term identity in these words, “The term identity itself is contradictory, meanings equality and distinctiveness, and its contradiction expand when it is applied to women” (Gardiner, 347). Her observation of life around her is acute. Her novels are feminist in tone and manner. All her novels deal with the dilemma faced by women in Indian society. She speaks of the middle class and has even earned many comparisons with Jane Austen for her portrayal of the middle class, often trapped in awkward situations and very sharp and chiseled idea of the feminine self. Even for the characterization that happened. Obviously it seems that her characterization is a neat depiction of the structure and fabric of the society.
