Keywords:

A major goal of this research is to establish that Vikram Seth is a novelist who is deeply concerned with the plight of women, as well as their significant place and role in society. Three novels “The Golden Gate”, “A Suitable Boy”, and “An Equal Music” by Vikram Seth were taken into consideration for this project. All of Vikram Seth's works take place in three separate countries: America, India, and Europe. In doing so, we may appreciate Vikram Seth's profound knowledge and comprehension of women, as well as their well-recognized purpose and place not just in Indian society, but also in European and American society. Seth has presented his reader to the magical power that women have in the formation and maintenance of families and society. Female iconography has been established by Seth as one of love, tolerance, and sacrifices, in all of his writings, but particularly in A Suitable Boy. She is portrayed as a model housewife and well-wisher for her family. Aside from that, Vikram Seth describes her as the "cornerstone of the family" in his all novels.
