The most well-known Indian woman author in English after India's independence, Anita Desai, focuses a lot of her writing on the issues of women's survival and existence. At this moment, the purpose of this piece is to examine how gender has shaped resistance. Anita Desai has been a strong representation of Indian women’s lives, their battles against patriarchy, and colonial repression. The feminist consciousness of Desai's "In Custody" permeates the entire book. This is the best indication of her comprehension of female psychology and experience. In "In Custody," the male characters are confined to a life without success. Anita Desai condemns classical society and crisps on a deplorable male character Deven Sharma whose wife execrates his powerlessness to succeed economically. This article helps us to show how women change their ideas to make the lives successful or unsuccessful not only for them but also for their whole family. This article has been written in simple language so that people may understand the fact that how a women can make or mar the society by her capability of doing things.
