Abstract

Women, especially women of colour had always known to be the subject of marginality. In India, women were marginalized by men but men were in turn marginalized during the colonial era. The same continues even to the present age. Critical Studies on Men and masculinities has burgeoned in recent decades and covers a range of studies that differ from the malestream. CSMM, views ‘men’ as a social, not an essentialist biological, category, that is gendered, intersectionally. Suniti Namjoshi, an Indian born English writer, having personally being doubly marginalised has created in most of her longer fables, women superior to men. In The Mothers of Maya Diip, she has create Maya Nagar an ‘all woman world’ where womanhood is praised and there is no admission for men. The bitter treatment that men folk receive makes one wonder if such a place exist. The fabulist’s contempt towards men is well depicted. The paper will explore the masculine marginality in Suniti Namjoshi’s The Mothers of Maya Diip.
