Abstract

Post-colonial literature is sustained and invigorated by the idea that subjugated and subaltern do get their voice to document their life. It is made uniquely so enriching when writers from ‘new cultures’ centre their understanding of the world in general and their culture in particular through literature. And they get distinction in various aspects. One of the primary matters of pride for Indian writing in English is that it is enriched by women writers, like Shashi Deshpande, Gita Mehta, Nayantara Sehgal, etc. It is noteworthy to see that they are loaded with feministic substances and they look at things from a feminist point of view. All these writers deal with the themes, issues, matters and problems related to women. Gita Hariharan is one of the representatives of such top- ranking group of novelists, who has earned her name in the field of fiction by documenting feministic concerns. The selected text, When Dreams Travel reveals the concerns of women from own perspective. Gita Hariharan does it with the help of recreating myth and dreamy environment. This paper aims to underline how Hariharan documents the quest of women for their identity, which is uniquely so typical and lost in every culture. This study is necessitated by the need to understand the woman, who comprise approximately half of the population of this planet.
