ABSTRACT

As a group of people, aboriginals in Canada share a history of genocide, a collective trauma, a history of dispossession of land, disenfranchisement, poverty and ill health, just to mention a few attributes. Moreover, among aboriginal communities in Canada, ultimately becomes subsumed in collective values. The basis of these values is invested in land, but not land as individual property right but as a right from the Creator. For aboriginal people, a worldview is at the core of community identity. Although each community has its own variant, there are common elements that make up the worldview and serve to define a community’s identity in time and place. Because all things are viewed as interconnected, relationships among people also are critically important; the notion of religion and spirituality have a communal rather than an individual basis. Based on this thought structure/ edifice, the present paper will explore the status and acceptance of the aboriginals in the main stream Canadian society. It is, therefore, important for the intent of the present research, to first provide a discussion on the history of the relationship between Indigenous people and the Canadian state, and to proceed with a discussion on the history of Canadian immigration and their theological beliefs.

Keywords: aboriginal, immigrant, theological beliefs, Indigenous.

ABSTRACT

Several Indian novelists exposed the real picture of Indian Society and the true condition of women. Indian English novels depicted each and every aspect of human life and we know how some of these novels revealed the struggle of Indian women to create their own identity, their emotional crisis and their status in Indian Society. There are several feminist oriented English novels that reveal how a woman is the subject of domestic oppression, suffering and how she struggles to create her own existence. The present paper attempts to examine and analyse Sudha Murty’s Mahasweta and Manju Kapur’s Difficult Daughters from a feminine perspective. Sudha Murty and Manju Kapur’s novels are full with the themes of ‘Gender bias’, ‘quest for self’ and ‘Resistance ‘and ‘Oppression’.

Key words-  resistance, crisis, consciousness, patriarchal, oppression etc.
