Love, feelings that anyone can associate. As it is a very exciting topic, this theme has captivated many readers. In Kathla Markandaya's Nector in the Siege, she attempted to use love as a theme in the entire story to keep the audience involved. But this method is not a true love, it is a destructive theme caused by this "false love", so it will not work in this case. The real theme, not love, is portrayed as a collapse of anti-feminism and feminist rights. Therefore love is not an overlapping theme in "honey" but rather a dependence on men against women, which reflects the feminist's beliefs and does not give women the power.
Kamala Markandaya introduces typical Indian lifestyle and culture in her novel "Nectar in Sieve". The theme detailed by the author at Sieve's Sieve is that hunger is the main driving force for people's lives. This motivation leads people to commit something to prevent starvation. Hunger is a well-known term and stage experienced by poor families. Every day is a new struggle for life and experience, and food is needed. Hunger for a novel is the driving force of many characters to endure various actions to gain food, from leaving a new land to prostitution. For example, Lukmani's sons Arjun and Tambi decided to go to Ceylon to find a better job than a tannery factory. "They pay a high price ... It is a good thing for us to work again, it is not appropriate for men to defile themselves with hunger and laziness" (71)

Things are keeping getting worse but I quietly resigned from floods, famine, even death - difficult to grow and insisted on hope for a better future.
