Race, Culture and Class discrimination in Manjula Padmanabhan's Beads

God has created every living being with perfection. His creation is precious, ultimate and gorgeous despite different colours, sizes and shapes. People are born with different features and colours in tune with the climatic conditions. People of different races acquire their own uniqueness’. Nevertheless, they take it in different ways and create differences; the fair races try to dominate those who look dark or brown. Indian society has come under the powerful web of discrimination and has created the gap between the rich and the poor. Fair skin people treat the poor as low class. Social inequality is found in almost every society. Manjula Padmanabhan through “Beads” shows how the lives of people are affected by cultural, social and racial discrimination prevailing in Indian society and questions the system in her short story “Beads”.
