An examination of the complicated problem of gender violence in India is presented here, with the goal of presenting it as a non-traditional security concern. Using Rashid Jahan's Parde ke Peeche, Ismat Chughtai's Chauthi ka Joda and The Quilt, and Shashi Deshpande's That Long Silence, the research investigates the narratives and literary representations of gender violence in these works of literature. By shedding light on the challenges that women face and the resiliency they exhibit, these works provide a comprehensive understanding of the social and cultural conditions that contribute to the perpetuation of gender violence. A critical work that sheds light on the widespread problem of domestic abuse is Behind the Closed Doors: Domestic abuse in India, which is also investigated in this article. The purpose of this study is to highlight the significance of tackling gender violence not only as a social problem but also as a key security risk that has an impact on the nation's stability and growth. This will be accomplished via the analysis of these tales. According to the results, a complete awareness of the issue of gender violence and a strategic approach to addressing it may result in more successful policies and interventions, which in turn contribute to the general security and well-being of society. With the intention of making a contribution to the current conversation on female violence and highlighting the need of a paradigm change in the way that such problems are seen and dealt in India, this is being done.
