In this patriarchal society men are considered to be superior to women. Many feminist theorists interpret the phenomena in their various ways.

The novel explores the various gender inequalities between man and women through the all male and female characters in the story. It depicts the same condition of two different Indian and American families in a different way. Both Indian and American families are male dominated. However the rules and systems of gender discrimination of Indian family differ from the ones in American family. As a result both the differences impact on women life. The novel reflects all the ideas through the character of Uma. Mrs. Patton, Melanie, Mira masi , Aruna, Mama and Anamika all these women are the sufferer and they all are born in a world which does not give respect women as individuals.
