Vol-7,Issue-5,September - October 2022

Author: Somya Goel

Keywords: Transcendence, immanence, platonic love, rajasika, tamasika.

Abstract: This paper focuses on the works of both of these women and aims to carry out a comparative study via a conceptual methodology of research. Both were about 4000 miles apart yet so closely linked with their philosophical ideas and stand on topics like sexuality, women and their sufferings, feminism, etc. There is a vast difference between the works of both spectacularly talented women, in terms of language, context, and writing style but still, the very essence of their work denotes similar notions. Even after decades, their works are widely read and deliberated upon by people when it comes to feminism. Having said that, it is also true that their work did not die even after so many years and it will most probably continue in the future as well, whether supported, discussed, opposed, or criticized. The paper focuses primarily on the question of the relevance of their work in the present period, and on whether the ideas of Amrita Pritam and Simone de Beauvoir remain similar throughout or did they contradict each other at some point.
