 Abstract

Generally, taxes are what the government charges from you but we are going to discuss in brief about the pink tax which is not the government subject but charges made by the producers from their female customers especially for the female product and services. The exact meaning and Idea behind the concept of "pink tax" is charging women more than men for the similar product and services. These variations can be noticed in several diversions like personal care products, clothing, healthcare, and beauty products. The legal system in the country facilitates the women in more ways but why they are silent about this sleeping tax issue? Does this promote equality? and will this be discussed? This is the issue that must be scrutinized by the government and addressed at the earliest. The legal system facilitated equal pay for men and women but it failed to notify the spending of their earnings. Several countries like France Argentina and Germany took this issue serious and provided solutions and justice for women why the world's largest democracy is still in free reign mode in decision making? Equality is the basic base and structure of the country but this species of silent killer is surely differentiating and discriminating women from the more benefited men. In this article all the ideas behind the pink tax and the solution will be discussed.

 Abstract

Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is a renowned Indian-American author known for her works that often interweave elements of mythology, immigrant experiences, and contemporary issues. While she directly and indirectly imbibed the concept of "Matrix Diasporic Consciousness" as a specific term in her novels , and other themes dealt with the themes of displacement, cultural assimilation, and the preservation of cultural heritage. Divakaruni's use of mythology can often serve as a tool to delve into complex human experiences and explore the intricacies of identity, belonging, and personal transformation. In Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's novel "The Mistress of Spices," the author beautifully intertwines the experiences of the Indian diaspora with elements of magical realism, using the rich cultural tradition of spices as a metaphor for the complexities of the diasporic experience. While the novel does not directly engage with the concept of "Matrix Diaspora," it can be analyzed as a narrative that embodies the key aspects of diasporic consciousness and the challenges faced by individuals living between cultures and identities. Divakaruni's sensitive portrayal of the character's inner conflicts and her negotiation of dual identities captures the essence of diasporic consciousness and the complexities inherent in navigating multiple cultural affiliations. These themes demonstrate how Divakaruni's writing goes beyond mere storytelling, engaging with deeper philosophical and psychological inquiries. By imbibing matrix of diaspora in a mythological tale "The Forest of Enchantment" she moulds epic into magic and in soul of conscience with inner voice of Sita and merging elements of mythology with the contemporary experiences of her characters, she crafts narratives that resonate with readers on both intellectual and emotional levels, inviting them to contemplate the intersections of cultural heritage, personal identity, and the human experience.
