create social awareness on the prevalence of backward social customs which were

exploitative in nature. As early as 1857, Baba Padmanji’s Yamuna Paryatan, used a

simple style of storytelling to speak about the plight of widows. Similarly, in

Indirabai, a Kannada novel written by Gulavadi Venkata Rao in 1899, the heroine is

given away in marriage at a very young age to an elderly man. Her husband dies

soon after, and she is forced to lead the life of a widow. In spite of opposition from

her family and society, Indirabai succeeds in continuing her education. Eventually

she marries again, this time a progressive, English educated man. In Sewasadan,

Premchand deals mainly with the poor condition of women in society. Issues like

child marriage and dowry are woven into the story of the novel. Social evils like

caste oppression was highlighted by Potheri Kunjambu, a ‘lower-caste’ writer from

attack on caste oppression. This novel shows a young man from an ‘untouchable’

caste, leaving his village to escape the cruelty of his Brahmin landlord. He converts

to Christianity, obtains modern education and leads a respectable life with his

government for production and for exports to other countries. Due to this

abnormally lower prices. Developed countries have reduced trade barriers as

per WTO but the governments of developed countries have ignored the rules of

WTO. These examples clarifies “WTO is not making rules fairly”.
