Abstract
“I am not trapped in my body,” wrote Marianna Paige in her Tumblr page, “: I am trapped in other people’s perception of my body.” What is Gender? How can we differentiate it from sex? In a feminist thought, sex refers to the fact of being either male or female. Whereas gender is the social, cultural ideas of femininity and masculinity assigned to different sexes. The paper titled “How Deep Shall We Dig: Gender, Identity and Characterization in Arundhati Roy’s The Ministry of Utmost Happiness” is a study on the identity and characterization of different people in the novel who have been oppressed in the past fifty years of Indian history.
