A creative writer can use literature as a potent tool to modify and alter the social structure, and Bapsi Sidhwa hopes that her most important and captivating work, Ice Candy Man, will help advance the global change that has already begun, including a radical rethinking of social thought and the rights and status of women. Bapsi Sidhwa is a member of the group of female creative authors who have begun to portray strong women for whom traditional roles are insufficient. These women want to assert their independence and autonomy and are completely capable of taking on new tasks and responsibilities. In Ice Candy Man, Sidhwa dreams of a world devoid of domination and hierarchy, one that is truly human and founded on the ideals of fairness and equality. In this novel, the female protagonist, Sidhwa, stands in for a number of women who endured the most violent religious riots in recorded history during the turbulent year of 1947 in India. Sidhwa has accurately shown emotional agony, personal vulnerability, barbaric acts committed during riots of different ethnicities, and violence against women. Lenny, who describes the horrors of violence and her own observations and reactions, has told the entire tale. As women are reduced to the position of sexual objects, she not only watches but also analyses the lustful and demeaning attentions that males pay to them. She also discusses the specific negative social and immoral effects that these actions have on women. A story about female oppression and marginalisation is Ice Candy Man. It depicts women's suffering and exploitation in patriarchal society truthfully. It reveals how guys use viciously assaulting women to demonstrate their macho dominance and so satisfy their cravings. On the other hand, it sensitively illustrates how women deal with the suffering and humiliation that is inflicted upon them.
