This research endeavor discusses the multidimensional connections betweenecology, Vedic philosophy, and women's marginalization in contemporaryIndia, as reflected in the writings of Arundhati Roy and Shashi Deshpande.Scrutinizing how these prolific writers use and reinterpret Vedic ideas, theresearch attempts to reveal the intersectional oppressions that Indian womenencounter. According to some research, Vedic thinking, which is frequentlydistorted and subjected to patriarchal interpretations, has the capacity toprovide a narrative that challenges established discourse power structure.Roy and Deshpande have successfully challenged patriarchal conventionsand ecological degradation with Vedic ideals through their literary works.Using the theoretical notions from the works of Vandana Shiva and UmaChakraborty, this research work develops a theoretical framework toexamine, how these stories of Roy and Deshpande provide insights into thelives of oppressed and subjugated women and how caste, class, rural-urbaninequalities and even environmental concerns are all interrelated. Thisresearch enhanced the understanding of the complex relationships betweengender, modernization, and tradition that have shaped contemporary Indiaby establishing the women's subaltern perspective. The ultimate objective ofthis study is to show how Vedic philosophy may continue to be relevant inpromoting a more just and sustainable future for women and theenvironment.
