Abstract:  Feminism has always shared the big part of her poetry after Milk and Honey and The Sun and Her Flowers is also with no exception. Kaur‟s own life is very much present in her poems and boldly describe all trau-matic experiencesthat would make the readers feel her pain.                Key word: Longing for freedom. Male domination.  Contemporary portrayals of women's activist activists will in general repel convoluted surges of prior assessment, especially, the Western considerations about Third World ladies and the solid orientalist impulse alongside the ground-breaking man centric framework in the Indian subcontinent. In her paper Can the Inferior Speak?, Gayatri Spivak (1988) raised a voice for the privileges of Third World ladies and their personality and problem of being quieted between the twofold persecution of male controlled society and government through basic assessment of 'suttee', the self-immolation of females in Indian-subcontinent. Like Spivak, Kuar, being an Indian by source and a delegate of Third World ladies, additionally represents the voice of the discouraged and the inferior. Woman's right has consistently been a critical piece of her works and by examining women's activist issues she makes her peruses inspired. All through her works, she discusses abused and inferior class, the ladies. In this manner, she talks about transparently the issues of women's liberation and child murder in connection to Indian culture where having a child young lady is viewed as a revile. Rupi Kaur, a 24 years of age Indian brought into the world Canadian artist, craftsman and theater entertainer in her second book The Sun and Her Flowers (2017) narratives the lives of youthful females in a contemporary setting through the encounters of relocation, diasporas, upset, love, misfortune, gentility, injury, recuperating, and female personality. She handily featured the encounters of growing up as a young lady, the externalization of the female body, encounters of sexual maltreatment and separations and their post-quake tremors. Further, she cheers in the conventional Indian family love through pictures of guardians and kin in sonnets and gives proper respect to their battle in life being workers and displaced people.  Woman's rights have consistently shared the huge piece of her verse after Milk and Nectar (2015), and The Sun and Her Flowers is likewise with no special case. Kaur's own life is a lot of present in her sonnets and strongly depicts all horrible encounters that would cause the peruses to feel her torments particularly if the peruse is an Indian or has a place with any South Asian locales. He/she can partner her encounters with theirs. Being an Indian, she highlight child murder furthermore, woman's rights, underestimation, concealment, and exploitation through sharing encounters of her mom for being an Indian lady and a migrant. Kaur investigates both worker ladies' issues and her nearby Indian man centric culture through the outlines of blended feelings altogether famous in all areas immediately of misery, self-hatred, disappointment, satisfaction and outrage together.  The Sun and Her Flowers tends to body dysmorphia, misuse, and assault and checks them with sections on woman's rights and confidence. In any case, the technique she embraces to feature the female issues is exceptionally interesting in its style that there is no male-slamming for the sake of women's liberation all through the book and the pages are not mud with self-centeredness and absorbed tears. The account outlining of this volume is a daily existence pattern of a blossom which Kaur controls to consider the allegorical passing through which we as a whole have to go to at last bloom. The book is deliberately isolated into five areas: Wilting, falling, establishing, rising, and sprouting, and each recognizes a particular issue and time in the creator's life.  Kaur forms heterogeneously longer writing sonnets planned as books inside the book in which she highlight the fundamental reasons for her slip-ups, oversights, and driving forces. Further, this assortment highlights her social childhood what's more, her mom's penances being a customary Eastern Indian settler lady and the generalizations that female never make some noise. Kaur produces an intelligence and respect for life that she converges with the social equity standards of woman's rights and populism. She additionally articulates to adolescents' battles to recognize, to absolve, and to adore with force and regard.  The main area, named "Shrinking", reveals insight into the creator's battle with lost love and gives not just the creator's mourn on a bombed relationship, yet additionally stresses on balancing exhortation and the significance of confidence. The segment starts with sonnets named utilizing dreary words and expressions, for example, "Graveyard", "Envy", "Imagine", "Craving" and numerous more. The stanza called “the building site of our future” depicts the creator's relationship with her darling as a relinquished building site, an incredible allegory that infers that they have neglected their adoration and future that they might have had. By scrutinizing the meaning of adoration, Kaur puts a focus on the perilous fixation on sentimental fondness, while likewise hardening the noteworthiness of different connections like those of family furthermore, companions, and the delight in giving and adoring. Moreover, the excursion towards self-acknowledgment and Kaur's battles with melancholy are introduced in sections, for example, "Questions."  While "Withering" discusses shock, the subsequent area talks about an undeniably more forbidden subject, assault generally in the eastern piece of the world where Kaur, herself, is from. The eerie sonnets in this part of the book fastidiously portray extraordinary sensations of torment and distress. Kaur further, also, unmistakably more sincerely, depicts continuous fight with melancholy, particularly in a sonnet named, "Discouragement is a Shadow Living in Me." Here, Kaur too states her puzzlement with the possibility that assault, which is so basic in the world, is viewed as something contemptible to talk about; while likewise enlightening her nauseate with the retrogressive thought that ladies ought to need to conceal their bodies to maintain a strategic distance from the gazes of men. This part proceeds to address the activities ladies take to make themselves engaging not to other people, but rather to themselves in entries, for example, 'I am both the toxic substance and the cure' and „all you own is yourself‟.  The following area "Establishing", portrays the way toward recapturing one's strength and self-esteem. The fourth segment, "Rising", includes improvement what's more, development. The sonnet "Festivity" plainly sums up the possibility of the entire segment as it contrasts people and their lives and orange trees, suggesting that their trees don't sprout except if they have blossomed first. Kaur offers noteworthiness to the possibility that to develop we should give up of our pasts and declining to do so is essentially dismissing the possibility that there is a tomorrow.  The last segment decorated with the title, "Blossoming", arrives at the peak of the creator's excursion. Here, Kaur recognizes her past, notices all the penances she has made. "Sprouting" is the last cycle when a bloom arrives at its last structure and has accomplished most extreme and complete development.  All things considered, The Sun and Her Flowers has effectively accomplished various estimable points. Kaur in a delicate, straightforward yet exhaustive style underscored the essential issues of females at different phases of life in a settler too as male centric culture, displaying different individual encounters. She asks peruses to acknowledge that we are not the experts of this world; rather, her guests for a brief timeframe and should appreciate this time with its fullest till the last second with expectation and solaces for other people. This book summons different feelings, generally compassion, and sympathy and shows the peruses to adore themselves before they love the world.
