Kavita Kane, an Indian journalist turned revolutionary writer, spotlighted feministic view through the retold Indian mythologies which reinforce women subjugation at all levels of society. The present research focuses on how the system ignored women when it came to taking a decision including her marriage. Her consent was immaterial though it directly affected her life. In this paper, Kavita Kane’s views on gender roles are presented from the point view of Urmila, a character in the Indian epic The Ramayana. The protagonist in the novel Sita’s Sister, Urmila, supports her husband’s acts without questioning to run the show in the family as well as in ruling the kingdom but raises her voice when all the scholars go on discussing the duties and rights of the men according to the Dharma. She questions how Dharma can ignore the other gender that are half under the sky. The study is conducted using gender theory as it opens up unfamiliar views for how to understand people in their diverse contexts including gendered structures and norms.
