Abstract
“The mechanism of power operating within the society than with economic and political implications and sources of that power” ---Samik Bandyopadhya The female role in the politics of power is limited only to surrender, acceptance and quiet suffering. The position of India women right from the very beginning has been in a very precarious condition. They are deprived of their rights in the parental property. They never had a say in any important matter and relegated to a second position after their males. In the male-dominated society, obedience and silence are their only weapons. If any woman dares to act, she becomes a threat to male chauvinism and is punished. Sexual misconduct is the worst crime that a woman can indulge in and the remedy lies in passing a death sentence on her. Ghashiram is a true story of the use and abuse of women. The wives of the Maratha Sardars bear a silent testimony to it. They are unimportant and second-grade creatures therefore, they are nameless. Gauri’s mother belongs to the same rank. She has given birth to her daughter but exercises no right in her welfare. They all continue to suffer in silence.
