Systematic Review of Literature of a Critique of the Representation of Muslim Women in the Works of Selected Indian Muslim Women Novelists

Abstract

Purpose: An overview of Muslim women in selected Indian English novelists' works. The majority of Muslim women writers' works have been interpreted based on pre-existing notions. Muslim women authors face unique limitations. Muslim women authors are similarly biased, as they are trained to adhere to specific literary conventions. This literature survey attempts to demonstrate the strength of the Muslim women authors' voices as underlined in the critical reviews.

Objectives: This research attempts to examine the voice of Muslim women expressing their desire to free themselves from the shackles of conventions as expressed in literary compositions. With words as their most powerful weapon, these free-thinking writers have emerged from their conservative cocoons and are ready to take on the world. There is a wide range of perspectives on Muslim ideology and identity in the books reviewed.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The Review of Literature is carried out with the secondary data gathered from educational websites and written publications. The research will be undertaken using Research Journals, Doctoral Thesis, and Websites. This Qualitative Research is carried out by studying and interpreting existing material on the subject using the keywords representation of Muslim women, perspective, horizon, and customized constraints.

Findings /Results: Reviewing Muslim women writers as feminists and trend-setters, rather than simply as Muslim women, this literary analysis sheds a new light on their works and perspectives on the genre. There are no limits to what this Review of Literature is trying to say about a liberated woman writer.

Originality/ Value: This review of literature gives Muslim women writers' identities and social responsibilities a direct voice by allowing their words to speak for them. It gives a good account of the authors and their comprehension of fact and fiction.

Paper Type: A review paper.
