Literature is not just a collection of words on a page, but a

reflection of human experience. It opens a window to the

world where voices have been muffled up in an intricate web
of power - be it gender, race, caste, religion or as in
Althusser's parlance - State Apparatus like the government,
the administration, the army, the police, the prison, etc.
Unravelling this cobweb of power through reading literature
is an enterprising endeavour.
