| Abstract: | The system of our Indian society is basically patriarchal (The hold of the Patriarch over women). Though the nature of patriarchy differs from class to class and from time to time yet it continues to breathe in many forms. Anti- feminine attitude of men is linked to this system. Many women suffer subjugation and exploitation that make their lives deplorable. The worst is that all women do not possess courage to come out of this disparaging situation. The impact of patriarchy in Indian culture is significant and pervasive affecting the lives of women in a number of ways. Sometimes patriarchal prejudices against women get so pervasive or wildly executed that women loose their autonomous existence and suffer its damaging effects. The pervasive misogyny often targets women that puts a question mark on so called civilized society and people. In the novel When I Hit You we are confronted with a woman who is victimised in an abusive marriage, who suffers violent acts done to her by her husband dominated by patriarchal assumptions. It is a searing, terrifying account of her mental, physical and emotional trauma. She is crushed to such an extent by her husband, who possesses a patriarchal bent of mind, that she loses her own identity. The novelist seeks to tell one woman's story, her own, but behind her tale lies the truth of hundreds of, thousands of Indian women. The narrator of the story is unnamed, so it could be the story of any woman. The novelist seems to be vocal to all the silent sufferers in the shattering account of her experiences or crushes. The present research paper examines how males’ sense of being the operative power of women, inherited by patriarchal lore (information, beliefs, set of ideas, practices), crushes a woman physically and mentally, how feminine sensibility gets exterminated by male domination and control in an abusing relationship. The paper also searches into the reasons why a woman endures such a harrowing crushes of the self as is analysed through this research paper. |
