An Study of Canadian author Bapsi Sidhwa

Abstract

Some people refer to the moniker "Woman Writer" as a "consolation prize" for female professionals in the field. It's true that this used to be the situation. Consolation is gradually being eliminated from the phrase at this point. Women have contributed much to literature. Women's labour is a complement and a supplement to that of males, offering a perspective that is fundamentally different. Male and female are the two equally proportionate half of the life cycle. Bapsi Sidhwa is a well-known author from Pakistan who has lived abroad. Based on her personal life experiences, including the partition of the Indian subcontinent, the oppression of women, immigration to the United States, and involvement in the Parsi/Zoroastrian community, she has penned four English-language novels. The third novel by Bapsi Sidhwa, Cracking India, delicately combines the story of Lenny, a little girl of eight years old, with the rumblings of the Partition as it moves from political planning to fact. The events in this book are seen through the eyes of a young kid, yet there are also clues of an older Lenny reflecting.
