This paper exertion will make an investigation of the changing jobs of ladies in Indian culture by thinking about Anita Nair's The Better Man, the writer of the Post free time who have skillfully and adequately introduced the binds which are forced upon them and keeping in mind that battling against these issues, how they leave their customary jobs as a mother, little girl, sister or more all as a spouse or a home producer and obtain numerous unheard of and novel jobs like educator, social laborer, social dissident, representative or corporate identity and some more. Frequently female characters are settled by sexual orientation generalizations with the goal that their endeavors to rise above this position are regularly addressed. With the swing from medieval man centric society to business visionary middle-class male-controlled society, the life of societal relations has corrupted, and vivacious distinction, egotism and self-government have advanced as the urgent individual factors in the social relations.
