A leading feminist from the North-East, she also writes extensively on questions of women and society. She has stated an interview that, "I’m a woman and hence I write about women in my society... In this uneven society that I belong to, I always feel I have a lot of say about women, as a woman." Specifically on the question of feminism, she has rejected labels, stating that "You can call me a feminist or a humanist, but I feel being a feminist and a humanist are not contradictory."
