Subjectification of Women through Patriarchal Ideology in the Subcontinent: An Analysis of Manto's Khol Do
Modern discourse on gender is dictated by the patriarchal ideology. In this new micro-system of power, women are overpowered and subjectified in the hands of men. The patriarchal society of the subcontinent, as depicted by Manto, clearly defines the way oppression of women occurs in the hands of the suppressing ideology. Deploying Foucault's notions of power and knowledge, this study aims to investigate the ways in which women are subjugated to subjectification under the patriarchal setup in the subcontinent prior to the partition. This paper highlights how women's bodies are commodified in an unremitted fashion in the subcontinent and how their bodies' time, place and movement are directed by the "micro-physical" power.
