Abstract

Gender discrimination is any unequal treatment, including privilege and priority, on the basis of gender. The other name of gender discrimination is gender inequality which is known as discrimination based on sex or gender causing one sex or gender to be routinely privileged or prioritized over another. It starts when the oppressors apply the laborer’s based on the gender disparities which start from the very beginning of the childhood in which boys and girls are treated in the different ways. It may exploit male or female based on their childhood, womanhood, boyhood, girlhood and aged labour and young labour. It is now limiting the lifelong potential of children around the world – disproportionately affecting girls. The foundational concept of human rights is gender equality which is violated by gender-based discrimination by the oppressors in the various fields. It is directly related to the feminine concept of human exploitation but the deep study of the discrimination tells its knower that other than females are also victimized under the heads of the inhumanity. The present paper explores gender exploitation or maltreatment of human beings in the diasporic novel, Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai.
