To re-conceptualize the process of construction of subordination in the lives
of the women of rural Sindh, this paper analyses two contemporary stories
(both fictional and real stories) of the women with reference to the history of
Sindh. These stories represent the women as second sex who willingly or
unwillingly subordinate to the male dominated society. To reconsider the
power-politics working behind the women subordination, this study takes
support from Guha and Spivakian subaltern-based theoretical
argumentations as a framework. Following textual analysis, this study
applies close reading method to analyse the issue of subalternity. Finally,
the paper finds gender, age, class, culture, and law as some eminent factors
cause subalternity in the lives of the selected rural women of Sindh. This
study further argues that the issue of subalternity is constructed/developed
due to assimilation, domestic colonialism, and baseless power-structure in
rural areas of Sindh.
