In modern India, they are working to transcend society's constraints imposed by a patriarchal culture with a long-standing history. It concentrates on Anglicized inner struggle. It seeks to introduce the cultural and socioeconomic changes which have swept India since its British independence in 1947. Most of her books address the significance of family ties and examine inter-generational conflicts. Desai's books support the intricacies of contemporary Indian society from a women's viewpoint while emphasizing the Indian female dilemma of keeping an individual woman's identity.
