Abstract
Kamala Das is one of the widely read Indian poets whose work seems to be the focal point of post-colonial writing. Identity, sexual or cultural. Das's works are set to be rich in exploration bearing multiple layers of identity which invite post-colonial analysis. By wielding words as weapons to challenge power, Das complicates the conversations on gender and nationality by navigating colonial and patriarchal frameworks in the post-colonial world.Women are God's marvellous creation, and throughout human history, they have miraculously held powerful positions and performed unique jobs that have greatly contributed to the advancement of human civilisation. They have contributed in many different ways to the development of society as a whole, if we examine their contributions across the course of human civilisation.The sociocultural and economic spheres within the spheres of nationhood are crucial to Indian women protagonists.They vehemently reject all forms of orthodoxy and idealised identities.The famous post-colonial critic Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak asserts legitimate emancipation by deconstructing history and emancipating women. She uses Indian literary works to illustrate the theoretical issues that internalise post-colonialism, post-modernism, post-Marxism, and post-feminism.In modern-day India, women from various minority and ethno-religious groups have been greatly impacted by communal divisions.This paper's goal is to use Indian English novels to track the historical evolution of feminism and post-colonial theory notions.English-language works by Indian writers about Indian women are well acknowledged; Salman Rushdie, Kamla Das, Imtiyaz Dharkar, Amitav Gosh, Anita Desai, Arundhati Roy, and Namita Gokhale are among the authors who have received international praise.  Despite the distinctions in time, location, culture, gender, and race, the conclusion emphasises a universal humanistic approach that predates modernity and makes historiography stand out brilliantly. The connection between feminism and humanism shapes multiculturalism as a social justice struggle.
