ABSTRACT
This paper deals with the comparison of mother and daughter, with reference to the novels of Anita Desai and Kiran desai. While Anita Desai’s novels reflect the social reality, Kiran’s novels manages to explore every contemporary international issue. Anita Desai is the one novelist who concentrates more on the exploration of modern Indian socity and sensibility. She observes the realities from a psychological perspective. Truthfulness is its motto, realism is its animating principle.
Anita Desai’s major themes are human relationships, alienation, loneliness, lack of communication, East West Encounter, violence and death. Her novels unfold the inner realities and psychic reverberations of her characters and tell the traumatic tales of blunted human relationships. The novels are certainly reflective of social realities. She is keen on projecting the social world.
Being the daughter of representative of Indian novelist, Kiran Deasi has won the booker prize, where her mother could not succeed though Anita Desai’s novel was listed thrice. Kiran walked on the foot steps of her mother. She continued along the contours marked by her mother’s experience and the way of writing.
The aim of the social realities depicted in the novels of Anita Desai and Kiran Desai.
“It is clear to those of us who have read Anita Desai that Kiran has learned from her mother’s work.” Both write not just about India but about Indian communities in the world. The remarkable thing about Kiran is that she is aware of Anglo-Indian inheritance but she does something pioneering contemporary issues. While her mother is interested in exploring the social realities, she is more interested in the social upheavals.
