Recently, young Indian women has being affected by the novels. Since 2005 the government has

allowed foreign firms to non-news publications, women’s consciousness is getting changed

against their tradition.

First of all, it starts with India’s still the conservative sexual mores. That makes young women

choose semi-erotic romances or defiant bride that kind of things. They are going to be

challenged. Not any more obey to the man. It will create a more sensation.

Hence, India’s caste-ridden society would be influenced by books. Their fondness for love

breaches class distinctions. In a book, a boy or a girl overcomes the class and finally they fall in

love. It makes the class distinctions getting looser.

On the other hand, the more women have cash, the more they have spare time, “me time”.

When they have “me time” they read liberal books. Those provoke women to think about

traditional dress code. They has accepted it without reserve.

One article weighed the pros & cons of the sari and cocktail dress. There is no more just

obedience about the rule. They are getting changing their consideration and behavior. It seems

to take a long time. But they will not stand the roles and distinctions anymore. Through the

book, their lifestyle will be change. I expect that the women can get more freedom and they

would be important existence in society.
