Mahashweta is a powerful social novel that tells the story of Anupama, a beautiful and intelligent young woman whose life changes drastically after she develops leucoderma (a skin condition causing white patches). Despite being educated and talented, she faces rejection, humiliation, and discrimination from her husband and society because of her condition.
The novel highlights deep-rooted social prejudices about beauty, marriage, and a woman’s worth. As the story progresses, Anupama shows remarkable strength and self-respect, choosing independence and dignity over acceptance from those who wronged her.
Through simple yet impactful storytelling, Sudha Murty conveys strong messages about self-confidence, inner beauty, courage, and the importance of standing up against injustice.
