This study seeks to study the portrayal of the image of women in Indian literature. For this purpose novel 'CHAAK' authored by Maitreyee Pushpa was analyzed. “Sarang” the protagonist of the novel, has been chosen for articulating and propagating the feminist issues. Narrative analysis depicts the women's quest for liberation in male dominated Indian society and how familial structures perpetuate women's subjugation, where the struggle is not just against male authority figures but how women too participate in it. The study makes analysis of the forms of patriarchal social control and how it constructs women's subjectivity and silence or negates any assertion of their right of choice.
