Abstract

literature has been a meticulous medium to project the human psyche, human feelings, desires and ambitions, noticed and unnoticed societal activities in concrete form. A writer presents his or her oeuvre what he or she sees and observes happening around the social atmosphere with a purpose and a prospect. Taslima Nasrin, the Bangladeshi writer being a mature writer puts her experiences, her observation and her views regarding societal norms and practices which are mostly patriarchal. Violence against women is an age old practice and Bangladeshi women are an integral part of it. Since the position of Bangladeshi society is vulnerable, women have endured a tough existence as they came to grips with a double subjugation in the form of patriarchal authority and the oppression emanating from the persistent conditions of the conflict. This present paper studies the vital subject of Bangladeshi women�s experience as narrated in the selected novels of Taslima Nasrin. The paper in the light of her selected novels attempts to argue, how the patriarchal subjugation and marginalization and persistent conditions of conflict have multiplied the oppression on women in Bangladesh.
