Abstract
Indian English fiction has gained rapidly numerous accolades at home and abroad. Ghosh’s “Sea of Poppies” deals with women characters, all women characters in the novel are directly or indirectly related to opium which affects their lives. Here we study and analyses women characters causes and reasons of marginalization, exploitation and sufferings in the society who chose a very uncommon profession in those colonial times as a colonized subject. In relation to that in Sea of Poppies the most problem faced by women seems to be sexual abuse, which involves both physical and psychological violence and how their lives alter afterwards. Ghosh’s “Sea of Poppies” produces a situation in which various aspects of Indian women’s are portrayed. The problems of alienation, migration and existential crises in life of unprivileged class of the society are explored through fiction.
