Mahesh Dattani is an Indian playwright who has written extensively about the lives of women in India. Dattani\u2019s plays often explore the experiences of women in India, and how they are affected by social and cultural norms. This paper tries to discuss and explore the themes of gender discrimination, incest, patriarchy, women subordination, and power. In his plays, women are often shown as victims of patriarchal society. However, they also show how women can fight back against these forces. Dattani\u2019s plays show that women are not simply victims of patriarchal society. They are strong and resilient individuals who can fight back against oppression. His plays offer a message of hope to women everywhere. In many of his plays, he explores the ways in which women are subjected to violence and discrimination and how they are fighting back against traumatic situations, such as abuse, incest, gender discrimination, and violence. Dattani\u2019s plays are important because they give voice to the experiences of women who are often silenced. He shows that women are capable of overcoming adversity and resilience, and they will not hesitate to fight back for their rights. His plays also challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes, and they offer a vision of a more just and equitable society.<\/span><\/p>

Gender is discrimination is one of the most crucial issue of the society . This research has shown that gender equality and sexual assault lead to numerous negative health outcomes for people across the gender spectrum. These include exposure to violence, sexual assault , sex determination, gender ratio and decreased access to economic, political, and social capital. Over the past 25 years, women\u2019s empowerment has gained traction as a way to address these negative outcomes in the fields of public health, development, economics, political science, education, sociology and beyond. This research article contributes\u00a0 on the role of gender and women empowerment through the female protagonists of selected plays of Mahesh Dattani.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
