The paper discusses the identity crisis faced by the women living in different strata of the society. At times, women are pushed out of the main circle and are forced to remain unrepresented and unheard. Though literature has discussed such issues from time to time, it’s still a matter of concern. Here, the paper presents the identity crisis faced by the women in Arundathi Roy’s God of Small Things and Shashi Deshpande’s Roots and Shadows and the struggle that they had undergone.
