Institutionally, Feminism dates back to the 1960s. Feminism or anthropology, first in the United States, then in various countries in Asia, including Europe and India, gradually went beyond the realm of practice and formed institutional circles. But the woman has been holding the rope of the society forever since that time by making her own identity secondary! The question is where is the relevance of Meghnadabadhakavya, written almost a century ago? In fact, feminism is a structure whose theoretical expression came in the 1980s. But in the addition of salt and oil to the to one’s own labour before the evening lamp is lit, it is relevant in the millennial brick addition phase of the theory building called feminism. The given narrative takes an insightful journey into the realms of a Feminist reading of Meghnadabadhakavya by interpreting relevant social documents and literary changes that accompanied the writing of the text.
