Abstract

Vijay Tendulkar has created a niche in the development of Indian literature. His plays are embodiments of the sufferings of women, especially in the middle class.  His works are usually based on realistic events taking place in Indian society. He has been a keen observer of the plight of women characters and their depictions in drama. Kamla is considered one of the finest plays written by Vijay Tendulkar. The women characters represented in the play have experienced enormous suffering and exploitation because of patriarchy. Sarita the protagonist is a slave in the house of Mr. Jai Singh Jadhav. Sarita has lost her own identity and personality after her marriage to a journalist. She doesn't have any freedom in the house due to her dominating husband. This research paper aims at the exploration of the predicaments of Sarita in the drama and her emancipation in the drama.
