women. They crave to establish themselves as individuals having their own identity. They
dislike being considered as appendages to men. A crisis of identity crops up when the
women develop relationship with others. Bereft of support and confidence, they find
themselves fettered in the chains of alienation as the situation lacks congeniality and
compatibility. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : DILIP JENA, (2012). INVISIBLE AND ANNIHILATED NEW WOMAN OF INDIA: A STUDY OF SHASHI DESHPANDE'S THAT LONG SILENCE.
