%X Sa£¿etak Poets play an important role in alighting the lamp of the human mind. The technique of writing poetry comes with ¡®creation¡¯ which is the primacy of knowledge and Sanjukta Dasgupta¡¯s poetry is the source of light vindicating her formidable creativity and apt awareness as a ¡®progressive [woman] writer¡¯ of Indian Writings in English. Women writers contribute towards the female literary tradition of ecriture f¨¦minine, strengthening the genre of gynocriticism. Elaine Showalter comments ¡®women writers¡­found [themselves]¡­without a history, forced to rediscover the past anew, forging again¡­the consciousness of their sex¡¯ facilitating the patriarchal interrogation through women¡¯s writings, accelerating the birth of a woman authored literary canon.

This essay explores the ¡®micropolitics¡¯ of an urban environment in Dasgupta¡¯s Dilemma: A Second Book of Poems, and critically reconnoiters her entelechy to observe life and interrogate the stereotypes society imposes upon women
