Patriarchy controls and shapes each and every sphere of a woman’s life, whether it is social, cultural, economic or religious. It is perpetuated as the most hostile form of gender discrimination and gender violence. Patriarchy has a great impact in constructing the psyche and determining the actions of a woman’s life. It often creates a gap between the two, opens up socially legalized scope of discrimination which strategically reduces the power and position of women. Arupa Patangia Kalita – one of the prolific voices of contemporary Assamese literature, draws very realistic picture of women characters who are affected by gender discrimination and power relations in family, community and in other spheres of socio – political and socio – economic life. The socially constructed gender norms alienate women and makes them victim of physical and psychological traumas. Adopting a feminist perspective this research article attempts to discuss the reflection of gender violence in Arupa Patangia Kalita’s two novels. The marginalized section of the society is brought to light who are the victims of socio – political unrest. By giving strong voice to her women characters the author expresses her social sense and inspires them to resist patriarchal gender barriers.
