Abstrakt: Mahasweta Devi is a well renowned writer for voicing the upheavals of the tribal people whose tears are mostly unnoticed or undervalued. Being the active member of several social welfare groups and tribal welfare associations, she made her personal life, her social activities and creative writing complementary to one another. Since she indulges herself in the activities of uplifting marginalized sections of the society we can feel a kind of candid situations and characterization in her writings. She transforms whatever she has observed in her everyday life in to writing, which makes her writings realistic and makes her readers to feel walking in to the streets of their own land. This paper aims at excavating the plight of the tribal people portrayed by Mahasweta Devi in her short story "Shishu" (Children). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
