BANDE, USHA. "Is Sita Mad?" Indian Literature, 139, 33.5 (1990): 179-84.<br />
While the “rhetoric” <strong>of</strong> Where Shall we go this Summer points to Sita’s madness, its<br />
“mimesis” reveals oppressive domestic routine facing an educated Indian woman and<br />
producing discontent, identity crisis and revolt.Neither Raman nor Moses comprehend Sita’s<br />
bitterness: that <strong>of</strong> the New Woman who can see social shortcomings but no way to overcome<br />
them, no self-affirmation save escape to recovery <strong>of</strong> childhood. It is more than the<br />
incompatibility <strong>of</strong> husband and wife personalities and less than a mythic allegory with<br />
triumphant heroine. Sita is an ordinary person combining modern traits with traditional respect<br />
for marriage and motherhood. Her achievement is her awakening; perhaps fulfilment will come<br />
for her daughter Menaka.<br />
