INTRODUCTION There are two different works of two different

Authors, but in both of them Derozio’s “Fakeer of Juhngheera” and Khalid Hosseini’s “Thousand splendid suns” there is one point which is common “Marginalization of women”.

In one work there is a problem of “Sati- Pratha”, in the other work there is different question that a woman who can not give birth to child is no woman.

In all these things issue is woman is always being victim of male dominating society. Always fight for their existence.

COMPARISON BETWEEN BOTH TEXTS

THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS FAKEER OF JUHNGHEERA

“FAKEER OF JUNGHEERA” TRAGEDY OF WOMEN

Nuleeni upper class Bengali woman, who marginalized in society.

She is really beautiful girl, for her lips Derozio used the word, “Ruby lips”.

she recently becomes widow an also victim of society so forced to become sati.

She loves someone else but no one cares about that. She has no right to love or live her life by her own ways.

ABUSE OF WOMAN IN “THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS”

Two female or victimized charecters, Mariam and Liela.

They both charecters were mostly cheated and undermined of neglected form male charecters around them.

They both are victim of extreme violence, bloodshed and an atmosphere of terror and uncertainty.

“Harami” that is the first world which Mariam heard, and Liela was orphan.

IGNORED CHARACTER OF WOMAN IN TWO WORKS

THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS FAKEER OF JUNGHEERA

Story of Afghani woman Mariam.

Here, problem is quite different she is victim of male dominating society.

Suffers physically most during whole novel.

End is death.

Indian victimized woman Nuleeni.

Victim of system or society, “Sati – Pratha” or “widow burning”.

Suffers mentally a lot during the whole poem.

End is death.

VICTIM OF MALE DOMINATING SOCIETY. In both of the work we found

male dominance over woman.

In “Fakeer of Jungheera” Nuleeni’s husband was dead but still he dominate her, whereas in “Thousand splendid sons” Mariam suffers a lot because she can not give birth to baby for his husband.

Society set rules mostly for women. Male is always dominating, in Afghanistan or in India no matter.

MARGINALIZATION OF WOMAN How marginalized human beings these women

are. They have no freedom, no right to take their own decisions.

This works reminds one of Simon de Beauvoir’s statement that, “No one is a woman by birth but she has (to learn) to become a woman.

VICTIMIZATION OF WOMEN IN DIFFERENT WORKS

THAT IT IS….
