Dattani‟s Bravely Fought the Queen shows the diabolic impact of animalization, deprivation and dehumanization on the lives of women. It portrays the claustrophobic existence of women in the world of limitations and handicaps. It makes an interesting study to observe how Dattani makes the females in the play, respond to the restrictions and constraints, and whether he justifies their dehumanization. Dattani has been known for his humanitarian stand, and his feminine sensibility can be ascertained by studying how the reinstates the human rights of one half of human population, women. The research endeavours to examine these dehumanizing bondages and their impact on the growth of the female characters in Bravely Fought the Queen, one of Dattani‟s most raw and violent exposition of the female self and psyche.
