Women in India are frequently depicted as silent victims. They are portrayed as defenders of traditional Indian culture. They will be cast in a variety of roles in India, including mother, spouse, girl, sister, love, whore, and so on. The contemporary man-centered culture is largely responsible for this way of life. In Indian society, women placed a high value on helping others and being charitable. The primary focus of this paper is on Anita Nair’s novel “Mistress” and Gita Mehta's novel “The River Suthra”, which explores the perspectives on current female contemporary scuffle [1]. The portrayal of their memorable women protagonists and the feminist tone in their novels make them one of the most outstanding female Indian novelists in English. These narratives have an uncanny ability to penetrate closed worlds. The goal of this study is to learn more about Anita Nair and Gita Metha's abilities in the contemporary scuffle over the deeper components of a woman's personality in the selected novels.
