Abstract (Original Language):
Nectar In A Sieve by Kamala Markandaya is a relatively short novel that introduces the complexities of
the life of rural people in India, and the tensions generated to their life because of modernization and industrial
progress and by the socio-economic changes that occurred during the country's British colonization. It is the story of
an arranged but loving marriage and rural life of peasants in India who hopefully try to way-out the problems of
phenomenal change, that created disturbance in their peaceful life, with indomitable human spirit and finally
overcome poverty and unending misfortune. It is also a novel about the conflicts between a traditional agricultural
culture and a burgeoning industrial capitalistic society.
