Between 1989 and 1994, she authored nineteen books and wrote columns for various local daily and weekly newspapers. Of the books, seven were novels, one was a collection of short stories, seven were collections of poems, and four were volumes of articles previously published as newspaper columns. Her straightforward and provocative style made her well known and controversial in Bangladesh. For instance, her book, Nirbachita Kolam (Selected Writings), was on the bestseller list in Bangladesh and more than 100,000 copies were sold in 1992.

Although the term New Criticism was first coined in the nineteenth century, it was not until American critic and poet John Crow Ransom, founder of the Kenyon Review wrote a book titled The New Criticism (1941) that it became established in common academic and literary usage. In essence, the New Critics were reacting against established trends in American criticism, arguing for the primacy of the literary text instead of focusing on interpretations based on context. However, as René Wellek has noted in various essays detailing the principles of New Criticism, proponents of this theory had many differences among them, and beyond the importance the New Critics afforded the literary text itself, there were many differences in the way they approached critical study of literary texts. Wellek writes that among the growing number of New Critics in the 1930s, there were few that could be easily grouped together. For example, he puts Ransom, Allen Tate, Cleanth Brooks, and Robert Penn Warren among the leaders of what he calls the "Southern Critics." Mostly, they are grouped together due to their reaction against previously established schools of criticism, such as impressionist criticism, the humanist movement, the naturalist movement, and the Marxists, and the fact that many of them taught at Southern universities at the time they created the theory of New Criticism. In addition to rallying against traditional modes of literary interpretations, the most significant contribution made by the New Critics, according to Wellek, was the success with which they established criticism itself as a major academic discipline.

Nirvana, for instance, narrated in a comic-ironic mode, shows how the MNCs obliterate all distinctions like caste, language and nationality of their employees. Whereas Kantu is centred on a village about to be submerged in the huge reservoir being built, Huli Savari depicts the way management-trainees are taught how to make huge profits in far-flung and backward countries. In fact, the title of the story Huli Savari, which means ‘to ride a tiger’, can be considered a metaphor for most of his stories: once one is after money, it is like riding a tiger; one can neither continue to ride nor get down from the tiger’s back.

In addition to rallying against traditional modes of literary interpretations, the most significant contribution made by the New Critics, according to Wellek, was the success with which they established criticism itself as a major academic discipline. New criticism first started as movement replacing the bio-critical and historical methods that dominated literary studies in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In these methods instead of the text itself, the biographical-historical contexts of the text were examined whereas the text is the sole evidence for interpreting it. The life and times of the author, may be of interest to the historian, but not necessarily to the critic. The text ought not to be confused with its origins:

called a 'cow' or a 'bird'. ( Gaard, Greta) There is indeed a history of dehumanization through
equating humans to animals, which because of speciesism, means that they are devalued and
considered to be less than other valued humans. The feminist-vegetarian connection is a
concept indicating that the oppression of animals in the form of being slaughtered and
consumed is parallel to the oppression of women in a patriarchal society, which establishes a
connection between feminism and vegetarianism. Carol. J. Adams first published on this topic in
1975. (Lucas, Sheri) However, this topic was mentioned in ‘few publications’ for ten years
afterwards. (Lucas, Sheri) The lack of acknowledgment on this topic in the 1980s became a
concern amongst feminists and, eventually, triggered the formation of an Eco-feminist Task
Force in 1990, raising awareness on the feminist-vegetarian connection.

(Lucas, Sheri) After 1990, this connection was extensively analysed in articles and journals by numerous scholars such as Josephine Donovan and Kathryn Paxton George. Taking clue from the above mentioned perceptions we have Han Kang’s evocative novel, The Vegetarian, which was a moment ago awarded this year’s Man Booker International Prize, pushing out novels by Elena Ferrante, Orhan Pamuk, and others. It’s an odd novel, violent and disturbing, by the South Korean writer, who was born in 1970 and began her work as a poet. No surprise that the poetic bursts forth from virtually every page, thanks to Deborah Smith’s lush translation. The story is brutal and elliptical, appropriately unresolved. The main character’s decision to stop eating meat is troubling because of the reaction of the people (especially her husband and her parents) and the rigid society around her. No one seems to respect Yeong-hye’s decision to become a vegetarian or to give her any space to become what she wants. Ultimately, the novel becomes an indictment of patrimony and state. What kinds of choices can women make about their own lives and their bodies? No difficulty at all realizing that The Vegetarian is about women everywhere and their continued subjugation by men.

In fact we can say the boldness can be replaced for Chughtai. Valiant protagonists stood out from the ordinary, her outspoken approach pushed regressive minds and her rebellious themes raised many eyebrows. Her strong feminist ideology, blunt and deliberate, made her one of the most controversial and successful writers of her time.

In this proposal a woman as an unspoken possessor of dogma, virgin wife, mother, sister, nurse and maid is the vital sacrifice to make. She is the expression by which patriarchy creates a hold back of purity and silence in the materiality of its interchange with the world and its piercing dialogue. Woman writing in the past in India has illuminatingly discovered how female writers question to pressures unknown to their male counterparts are enforced to find roundabout way of inquiring their society’s orthodoxies in their work. Creative as well as collective ideologies have prevented women novelists in exacting from articulating openly their own rebel from acknowledged conception of female roles, mainly those pertaining to the holiness of wedding and motherliness. During categorize to invent their disapproval; they have had to execute strategies of artfulness using artistic policy which right to be heard their restlessness without visibly challenging fictitious or sexual conventions. Next to the same point their consciousness of the compound and frequently clashing scenery of female desire produces ambiguities or dualities in their writing, a sign of ambivalence as much as of annoyance. The dilemma of how to express an own hallucination of womanhood in their work of art without violating existing codes is mainly severe for women writing in India. Novelists confronted with dominant images of ‘normality’ in both social and literary spheres (the domestic angel must herself provide her novel with a happy matrimonial conclusion), has continued to work out twentieth-century writers, who are still exploring ways of expressing their resistance to restrictive and falsifying ideologies about womanhood.

Migration denotes movement of living beings and human migration involves movement of people in space. Eisensdadt defines migration as “the physical transition of an individual or group from one society or another. This transition usually involves abandoning one social setting and entering another and different one” (19). Eisenstadt does not mention any length of time for one to be considered a migrant. Weinberg, in his definition of human migration, is a little more specific, though not definite. In his words, “Human migration is the changing of place of abode permanently or when temporarily, for an appreciable duration as e.g. in the case of seasonal workers” (19). In fact, there is no fixed duration of time over which one has to stay in a country other than the country of their origin to be conferred the status of an immigrant. Some states consider one year to be sufficient for a foreign-born national to be considered an immigrant within their territorial limits, while others fix three years as standard. In some countries, Germany for instance, any person born to foreigners living within their territory is considered immigrant. Some immigrants hold national citizenship before their entering into the country of settlement as it is the birth place of their parents living in another country, while others, as soon as they enter their new country, are recognized as citizens. Non-Israeli Jews, for instance, are recognized as citizens when they enter Israel.

literature today is the emergence of Indian women writers.
Not only in India, there has been a remarkable growth of
feminist writing in South Asian literature in the recent years.
Several writers from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri
Lanka have attained international recognition: Anita Desai,
Bharati Mukherjee, Arundhati Roy, Shashi Deshpande. Bapsi
Sidhwa, Fatima Bhutto, Taslima Nasrin, Chandani Lokuge
and Yasmin Gooneratne are notable names.

Bapsi Sidhwa, Ismat Chughtai, Jhumpa Lahiri and Fatima
Bhutto are the writers with the feminine consciousness and
they deal with the women characters who are the victims of
the society. All are as writers occupy a distinct place in the
realm of contemporary writing in English.
A common contemporary issue facing every country is the
question of woman whether in Western or Indian literary
tradition; the women are seen as launching themselves for
their identity. The new woman today challenges the
traditional notions of ‘Angel in the house’ and ‘sexually
voracious’ image. The ‘new woman’ is essentially a woman
of awareness and consciousness of her low position in the
family and society. The feminist literary criticism has
developed as a component of the women’s movement and its
impact has brought about a revolution in literary studies.
Twentieth century feminist social theory cannot be isolated or
understood separately from feminism as a social movement.
As the feminist movement has changed from being a
campaign for equal voting rights in the 1920s to being a
radical movement for fundamental gender equality at work
and in domestic activities, legal relations and cultural
practices, so feminist social theory has evolved through a
variety of forms: Liberalism, Marxism and Post-modernism.
In general terms, the concern of the feminist social theory is
to understand and explain the subordinate position of women
in society with reference to gender difference, specifically in
terms of a theory of patriarchy. The most recurrent themes in
their works are the hazards and complexities of relationships
and particularly, the marital discord and its consequences.
They seem to question the basis of marriage that does not
offer a solution for establishing a healthy relationship between
the man and the woman.
Now-a-days women have a greater share in social
responsibilities. They have also infinite number of
7
opportunities open before them. Still, they feel they are
marginalized. Women writers are of the opinion that the
situation calls for a concerted attempt to affirm the dignity of
woman in the family as well as in the wider social life. A
close study of the works of these writers reveals that they
have the feministic perspective in portraying their characters
in their respective works. Though they cannot be branded as
feminist writers belonging to any particular group they have
much concern for women in society. They are neither satirists
nor social reformers to bring about a change in the structure of
the society. What is striking in their writings is their probing
into the mind of the characters.
Their main preoccupation is to study the complex human
relationship, particularly the conjugal relationship, human
existence and human predicament, their exploration being a
quest for self. They try to expose the moral and spiritual
concerns of the modern society in which a hapless and
forsaken woman longs for pleasure and freedom. The woman
nuances in the works of all the writers is very much affected
by problems such as incompatibility in marriage,
maladjustment, lack of understanding, causing psychic
tensions.
