Women in Aswin Sanghi’s Novels The Krishna Key, Chanakya’s Chant, and The Vault of Vishnu: A Brief Study - A SURESH KUMAR

Abstract

Aswin Sanghi is one of the best-selling authors in current Indian English literature. He is called the Dan Brown of India because he has written religious, mythological, and theological thrillers. He publishes his novels in a series called the Bharat Series. In Indian philosophy and culture, women have an integral role. Aswin has identified and given due weight to the female characters on par with their male counterparts in his novels. He has empowered and elaborated the characteristics of these roles so as to entertain and educate how current women should be. On the other hand, the valour displayed in the characters is laudable and a motivation even to the men who are in the paucity of audacity. Aswin Sanghi has written some fabulous novels Viz. The Krishna Key, Chanakya’s Chant and The Vault of Vishnu. He has penned female characters such as Priya Rathnani, Radhika Singh, Chandini Gupta, Suvasini, Paramajit Kurana, and Anu, which elevate the pace of the novels' plots. It is evident that the tenacity and perseverance shown by the women portrayed in the novels towards the goals they set are remarkable. He has described them in divergence. When one character strives to uphold the believed ideals, another character melts her life for the protection and integrity of the nation, while some others betray and work for the traitors. Aswin’s women represent many attributes, such as purity, honesty, dedication, devotion, hypocrisy, sacrifice, mendacity, and genuineness. He throws his weight behind his female sketches as women are half of the entire creation. This paper brings out the commitment which is showcased in the depiction of female characters primarily in Aswin Sanghi’s fiction works cited above.
