Preponderance of patriarchy in the work of mahesh dattani

The gender inequality is not just a conventional thought but a scientific reality, hence males dominate. Patriarchy is the outcome of male dominance in the long run. The rule of male gender snuffs away the possibility of unbiased equality for the rest, and Indian society has been quite inflexible towards doling out equal rights to female and neuter gender, transgenders, and those defying gender roles as laid down by convention. Dattani’s plays spotlight the reality of modern Indian society where social bias and gender roles assigned to individuals subscribing to socially accepted norms regarding gender, and those deviated from these narrow parameters are shunned by the patriarchal order of the society. Such a social system looks at a male as having higher potential, thus bestowing them with greater privileges, while female is usually underestimated, and even their actual potential is ignored. In this research paper, I aim to discuss the issue of patriarchy undertaken by Dattani in his plays.
