REFLECTIONS OF MARXISM IN AMRITA PRITAM’S SELECT NOVELS: AN EXPLORATION

This study examines the reflections of Marxism in the select novels of Amrita Pritam, a prominent Indian writer and feminist. Through a close analysis of Pritam's works, including "Pinjar" and "Agnipariksha," this exploration seeks to understand the ways in which Marxist ideology permeates her narratives, shaping the socio-political landscape depicted in her novels. By focusing on key themes such as class struggle, inequality, and exploitation, this research elucidates the nuanced ways in which Pritam intertwines Marxist principles with her own feminist perspectives, giving voice to marginalized sections of society and advocating for social justice. Furthermore, this study delves into the influence of Marxism on Pritam's portrayal of characters, their relationships, and the larger societal structures within which they exist. By examining the intersections of Marxism and Pritam's literary craftsmanship, this research offers valuable insights into the enduring relevance of Marxist ideas in contemporary literature and provides a deeper understanding of Pritam's contribution to both the Marxist discourse and the feminist movement in India.
