Starting from the older generation is Mammachi, then Ammu's generation and the younger generation is Rahel. These women live according to the prevailing customs of Hinduism. Susan Wadley and Doranne Jacobson conclude that according to Hindu culture there are two views on women. First, woman is considered benevolent and giving, the second view is that woman is aggressive, malevolent and destructive.

Women treated in this way are considered soulless, subhuman beings and playthings for men. This imbalance in society explains much of the unhappiness prevalent in our families and the tortured lives of children who are exposed to this very biased and unfair view of life. The end result is a paralyzed society, unable and unwilling to grow. Works Cited1. Beavior, Simone de. The Second Sex London: Vintage Series, 2011.2. Prasad, Amar Nath.
