Lots of bile
A tale of superficial feminism.
Seven steps in the sky

Yes, yes. But what about? With its right-under-the-nose treatment of the theme of the status of the middle-class wife, Seven Steps In The Sky belongs to that category of women's fiction in which the writer chokes on her own asperity.
Kundanika Kapadia, author of three novels and four collections of short stories, won the Sahitya Akademi Award for this novel, originally published in Gujarati in 1985. Losing all claims to any objective analysis of the gender equation, the novel reads like a diatribe on the oppression of housewives. The plot bristles with disgruntled women, while the men are shadowy, maligned figures.
And all the strong-willed women eventually land up in Anandgram, presumably a fictional representation of the centre for "social and spiritual development", founded by Kapadia in rural Gujarat. Here, Vasudha discovers the purpose of life: to be free from illusions.
In truth, the greatest illusion is that one could be free of illusions. The novel is based on a shallow application of feminist perceptions to the Indian marital arrangement. In Vasanti's married life, we are told, a pattern emerges: "silent recrimination by day, embraces and.hot breath at night." The gender issue is destroyed by overstatement and a one-sided view.
And one wonders about the expedience of translations from the regional languages into English. "Which bird had spread its wings today?" Vasudha wonders about her sudden show of spirit vis-a-vis her husband. Which bird indeed.
For all their show of indignance, self-pity deprives these women of a fruitful relationship with their husbands. "I have only two ways to please him", says Vasudha, "a good meal and..." Did she ever try to tell him that she didn't enjoy...you know.that horrible thing husbands and wives do after the children are asleep?

Salute to Kundanika ji ! !Feb 06, 2013Arun rated it it was amazing · review of another editionRecommends it for: EveryoneShelves: favorites, sahitya-akademiI can say this is one of the best books I've ever read! The book deals with ideas about the liberation of woman and voices against the virtual enslavement by husbands. I initially thought that the book is biased and will be only portraying all men as bad and vile, but that was not the case.
The author was so sensitive as well as analytical in penning down. Her words are uncomplicated, yet hold humongous significance.
Most of the problems women face in our society for over thousands of years have b ...more
