Abstract
The genres of literature provide both teaching and delight as defined by Plato. Indian writing in English brings back the various aspects of humanfolk. The present trend is reusing the stories of mythology, especially In the recent past, retellings of Hindu mythology as per the present context is in trend. It's a great help to the present society youngsters to know the traditions of our country.
Kavitha Kane is one of the emerging legendary writers of contemporary Indian Writing in English. Her feminist retellings are remarkably well. She has done justice to all of the unknown female characters in the modern context. Karna's wife Uruvi's story is a reaction of a rich single girl child, her love marriage to a so-called low class King Karna. Whereas, The Fisher Queen's Dynasty's protagonist Satyavati 's character is a reaction to a low class queen and the abduction of a great King, her father. The villainous character of the epic Surpanakha is turned as the protagonist of Kane. Similarly, Urmila, wife of Lakshmana, the minor character of Ramayana, becomes the title holder of Kavita Kane.
Her novels are proof for the fact that the culture has not given the due significance to the wives or queens unless they are noted for their power or cruelty. The novels of Kane redefine the unknown and least known women characters of popular epics of India.
