·     Social Background of novel Kanthpura   

Kanthpura written by Raja Rao. It is book of Indian and typical Indian book in kanthapura stories very nice expertise the whole event.

In the early collection of stories and in his (Raja Rao ) first novel  kanthapura written (1938) Raja Rao’ s concerns have been of a social and political nature.

Raja Rao s cultural reasserlwns cannot be barreled. Classified or compared with that of any other writer. He stanels apart as one who had a strong grounding in Sanskrit which opened the divas to the infinite spiritual horde of the Vedas and Upanishads.

      In   Kanthapura novel Raja Rao expertise , society of Indian what they believe culture and reliouse political etc. kanthapura novel show the society their rules and woman victim of society because in Indian society rules are very difficult and hardy followed

 Writer wanted to show the mirror of Indian society background.

Bhatt’s other social considerations hardly go farther. As for them the less said the better. Bhatia was the only one who would have nothing to do with those ganglia bhagans he wouldn’t have the city troubles in kanthapura. No anodynes besides his business construal he onward to government patron age. He was also the elation agents and gat two thousand for it. But Bata was no unredeemable monster. Clever fellow this bhatta the remark made earlier in the novel has its overtones of indignation on the part of the authors. And a kind of indignation cantinas in our attitude towels him.

And here writer put the image of Kanthpura who we real whole novel the same time we realized before society belong all sprit.

Kanthpura name of village it was very old and their peoples uneducated and blindly believe anything villager a siring bajan all songs and reliouse idea if image very typical Indian village. Kanthpura very old idea of Raja Rao

General Indian believed poor idea and reach reliouse the society rules were more hardly to followed people. And Kanthapura is good expressed idea of social value Indian cultural event political even etc.

The novel has a dormant pattern to the treatment of caster and communities of any Kanthapura a village representative of any other village in south India.

In the beginning of the novel we endanger the whole village stratified and hierarchies on the basis of caste creed and religion.

·       Earlier in India Brahmin are major of role of in society and they were more reliouse and idealized in society all other communist’s people believed in brahim cast. And castisecim also main part of the society.

When novel organizes an open meeting to garner support to get moorthy out of jail sends old man in turban belonging to upper caste flares up against all Gandhian stuff of caste mixing.

The whole image also expressed the idea of society in Kanthapura novel because that time of cast mixing and other things.

In Kanthapura novel based on social even and try to repressed to truth by Raja Rao he warded to explain there idolize and uneducated people and also political even are main them of novel Kanthapura. And background based was very mixed.

·       Woman condition in society (Kanthapura)

The anther point is the oppression of women by men. As it is discussed earlier that Indian is a land of great tradition and culture women is portrayed as an embodiment of sacrifice and they are thought the virtues to be develop to become an ideal Indian woman. The tradition patriarchal framework experts a lot from a woman. During the time of general construction. The girl child aqueous pre –knowledge of her rights and responsibilities and role and relations to be observable at both the natal as well as in law’s home and gets that in such a way that the girls.

It also another lager of oppression the oppression of widow in the society their oppression was more in Brahmin community the women who lost her husband had to shave her head and wear only white sari.

They would not be allowed to participate in any good events and they could not come before anybody who was leaving his house for work or for any good events. If he happened to see a widow while leaving his house, it was consider ill women.

Women condition very difficult and men central character in society.

The fiction character Ran gamma in this novel resembles the character of Rama in reality, Rama was the founder of Aria Mahila was Sabah. As early in 1882 she fought against male domination in the society and she founded saradha sadhan (a place to learn) in Mahila Sabah she organized a lost of meeting for women and through her revolutionary talk she made them realize the they should be independent and come out of the walls built around them and come out of the walls built around them and especially she demanded freedom for widows to decide their life and remarriage. It was unacceptable and she was critiqued badly for her speeches. She real all the puranas. Epics Vedas and Literature and found that there was no justice for women in anything.

In Indian society more difference of other countries even now a day also not more changes. But before village are very old thorough. In novel main points are society of Kanthapura politician reliouse colonies etc main theme are the novel Kanthapura.

Well I read book at that time and I find Kanthapura village quite same even today villages and it also saw image of myth and Raja Rao view of colonies and Englishmen.
