This paper is an attempt to review some literary works of the contemporary times: Andha Yug by Dharamvir Bharti [1955] and The Great Indian Novel by Shashi Tharoor [1989] and various other texts like Rashmirathi by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar [1952] and KomalGandhar by the Hindi playwright Shankar Shesh [1978], to bring into focus that how these works have contributed in furtherance of already established mythologically constructed beliefs about the visually disabled in Indian society and to point out how both the authors of the works have used Mahabharata to demonstrate chaos, destruction and the failure of the ruling class followed by various other texts reflecting a similar discourse.
