Abstract

Women make significant decisions during desperate situations and even choose to do odd jobs to care for their
families. Particularly Indian women put an end to their true identity to care for their children. India is known for
its varied language and cultural practices. Different languages are spoken across the country, their culture differs
from state to state, and their customs play a vital role with regard to religion. They worship different Gods, yet
they remain united which is why it is called the country of 'Unity in Diversity. Despite the differences, all Indian
women have certain common featured in them. Chastity is blended in the blood of every Indian woman. They
tend to protect it throughout their lifetime. But unfortunately, some women are pushed to the position where they
have to sell their chastity to provide for the family's sake. Even though the husband or the father is regarded as
the primary breadwinner, today in so many Indian families women take up the family responsibility. They even
choose to take up odd jobs such as surrogates and sex workers. This paper deals with the bottled-up emotions of
one such woman and the consequences of the choice she made to take care of her family. The paper also argues
the interconnection between the feminist concepts that are taken up for analysis.
