Love and sensuality in a handful of rice

Kamala Markandaya, the renowned novelist of Indian Diaspora, was born in a blue- blooded family in Mysore in 1924. She is an exceedingly productive author.

In the novel, she deals with the theme of love, femininity and sensuality. It is replete with the scenes and metaphors of love-making. Most of the descriptions are inventive, but sometimes they reflect impropriety.

Sensuality means connected with the physical feelings giving gratification to the physical senses, especially sexual pleasure. So the sensuality in the novel is crystal clear.

Ravi, the hero, falls in love with Nalini at the first sight. Jayamma, Ravi's mother-in-law, is infatuated with Ravi. Her infatuation towards Ravi noticeably depicts vulgarity because it is not feasible in Indian society.

So the research paper would try to describe the panorama of love and sensuality. It would deal with decency which is concerned with the realities of life.
