Chitra B. Divakaruni and her feminist take on Indian traditions
 Rayová, Roxana ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Topolovská, Tereza (referee)
The thesis explores the way in which selected short fiction by Banerjee Divarakuni is reflective of her stance on Indian traditions. Divarakuni is seen as one of the most recent and eloquent female voices in contemporary Indian literature, one which re-evaluates the Indian tradition in the light of modernity and postmodernity. In these efforts, she is standing on the shoulders of centuries if not millennia of literature by women that both condones and critiques Indian tradition. And that is also the dichotomy that can be observed in what is widely seen as Divarakuni's masterpiece, the thematically-organized collection of short stories called Arranged Marriage. The thesis therefore seeks to establish the degree to which these stories criticize traditional Indian customs and values, and to which degree the stories portray the more benign aspects of that tradition.
