In order to determine how tradition and modernity are portrayed in Manju Kapur's previously published novels, this research paper will specifically look at Difficult Daughters (1998), which earned her the Commonwealth Prize in the Eurasia Section, A Married Woman (2003), Home (2006), The Immigrant (2009), and Custody (2011). This research paper aims to investigate how Manju Kapur depicts the conflict between tradition and modernity in her novels through the characters she develops, as well as the lives of Indian middle class women who struggle for their basic rights to education, identity, and survival. Understanding the concerns of Indian middle-class women who are torn between tradition and modernity is the aim of the current. Thus, the current research research aims to investigate the worries of middle-class Indian women who are caught between tradition and modernity. All of Manju Kapur's female protagonists—Virmati in Difficult Daughters, Astha in A Married Woman, Nisha in Home, Nina in The Immigrant, and Shagun in The Custody—rebel against tradition and seek to realize their independence by embracing modernity
