Feminism is a doctrine or movement that advocates equal rights for women. Feminism as a movement is about women living on equal terms with men and not pushed down, by law or by culture, into a subservient role. However, with development of time, feminism has been established in India, setting aside the patriarchal predomination to certain extent. Leaving aside the crusaders and activists of the social and political scenario, perhaps enormous body of work on feminism is also accomplished through Indian English literature. But prior to realizing a closer look into feminist literature in India, it is essential to understand the crucial concept of the term „feminism‟ in the context of India, beginning from its inception.
