The current review presents the touching stories of Sudha Murthy's novels: "Mahashweta," "The House of Cards," and "Gently Falls the Bakula," which mainly focus on self-realization, love, and sacrifice. Each one is encapsulated in how the female protagonist handles the hurdles in the way of her objectives, ambitions, and social expectations. Shrimati, in "Gently Falls the Bakula, surrenders her career ambitions to support her husband's career, but at the end of the day, when she finds out that her ambitions have become hollow, she miserably reclaim her identity. "The House of Cards" is the journey of Mridula from a vivacious rural girl to a disillusioned wife who eventually stands up for herself, choosing her happiness and self-respect over an insincere and materialistic marriage. "Mahashweta" symbolizes a journey in the life of Anupama, a discarded wife, from an abandoned woman with vitiligo to a free, self-reliant woman of character. A critique is done on the character depiction of women's life struggles and their strength by Murthy in her works relating to modern Indian culture. These short stories exactly respond to the issues of social norms, gender inequalities, and individual empowerment. The essay delves into further autobiographical resonances in Murthy's work and her preoccupations with the values of education, independence, and empathy. A comparative account of characters and experiences is are tool used to underline the more significant social critique that Murthy has spun into her work. It critiques the social systems that imprison women's lives and speaks to the writer's talent in creating complex stories that touch on universal themes of love, sorrow, and redemption.
