This research paper offers a Freudian psychoanalysis of Sanichari, aiming to uncover the unconscious forces, defense mechanisms, and internal conflicts that shape her character and actions. Mahasweta Devi's Rudali presents a compelling character in Sanichari, a woman
whose life is full of tragedy, marked by the loss of her husband and son and abandonment by her grandson. Using Freud's psychoanalytic framework, her character can be understood through defense mechanisms such as repression, denial, projection and sublimation which she employs to cope with overwhelming grief and anger. As the narrative unfolds, Sanichari's involvement with the Rudali, a group of professional mourners, becomes central to her identity. Her role as a Rudali allows her to channel her repressed emotions into a socially accepted outlet, illustrating the psychoanalytic concept of sublimation. In this paper, by delving into her psyche, a deeper understanding of Mahasweta Devi's portrayal of Sanichari who is undergoing anguish in the face of adversity, is gained.
