Mythological retelling treated as a modern form of famous fiction and a recent genre of English literature. Myth and folklore reflect the cultural value and belief system of ethical groups. The epics presents historical stories and excite the imagination in a sophisticated style. India is well known for the varied and prosperous, cultural and tradition since ancient times. Common themes in Indian mythology are sacrifices, rebirth, boons, curse, penance and Chasity. For decades, the epic Ramayana has been elucidated as the touchstone of morality in Hindu culture. Surpanakha’s character has been judged by body, choice, color and gender. Ideally, the development of women’s studies would challenge the ideologies and rules set by patriarchal society. In recent years, many Indian writers have made great strides in overturning the ancient order of good and evil, destroying the incredible image of the gods and humanizing the so-called demons. In particular, female writes attempt to new identities and roles for women by revisiting myths from female perspective. This article focuses on Kavita Kane’s mythological novel the Lanka’s Princess, in which Kane attempts to redefine the role of women in a patriarchal society. Modernist writers viewed mythology as a way of critiquing the modern world and exploring the existential problems of contemporary society. Indian English writers continues to emphasize the needs for literature to rethink history and mythology. The researcher intends to consider aspects of the study of mythology stories that are taking place in the current generation, that is social, political, cultural and commercial approach. This paper is about the unsung character from the epic Ramayana and exposes Surpanakha either perpetrator or victim and how peaceful Meenakshi turned into cruel Surpanakha.
