Manju Kapur is known for empathetically representing the family life and social relations of the middle-class Indian families in her novels. Women-centric concerns dominate her stories. The present paper is an attempt to appraise man-woman relationships presented in her most recent novel Brothers. In this novel, Manju Kapur sets the narrative in the conventional culture of Rajasthan where orthodox customs like child marriages, widowhood, and casteism dominate the society. Here, women are generally considered subjugated to men, and after marriage they have to strictly and silently follow the patriarchy norms imposed by the society in the name of tradition. She highlights the socio-cultural aspects of human relationships, behavior, beliefs, and values in this novel. The title refers to two Jat brothers, namely Himmat Singh Gaina and Mangal Singh Gaina. The stories of their family tussles are marred by wealth and power games. The crux of the narrative is about the lives led by women like Tapti, Mithari and Sonal, and girls like Mridula and Mansi, in this vitiated social atmosphere. This paper’s focus is on man-woman relationships in this novel.
