The writing in Indian English Novel has witnessed the issues dealing with the synchronic and diachronic transformation. Needless to say that the space for women in it is also changing from time to time. The writers have tried their level best to grapple with the culture and context specific problem and issues related women. A notable development is the emergence of an entire school of women novelists in Indian Writing in English. Ruth Prawar Jhabvala, Kamala Markandaya, Nayantara Sahgal and Anita Desai are the leading figures in Post- Independence period. The present paper focuses the most celebrated Marathi novel Kosla (1963) written by Bhalchandra Nemade, Janpeeth Awardee 2015. The first critic of a literary work is the writer himself who through his text issues some hits to the creative reader to meditate upon. It is perceptible in all works of literature and Bhalchandra Nemade's Kosla is no exception to it. The novelist has thrown away all the required norms of literary writing. The protagonist Pandurang Sangavikar, in fact represents the novelist himself throughout the plot. He is seen in a deep grief which affects him at the internal level of mind. In the present novel, the subversive tone is seen missing.
