She was awarded the prestigious Booker Prize for literature in 1997 for the novel The God of Small Things which earned fame for her throughout the world. She has depicted ruthless realities of contemporary social life of India in general and Kerala in particular in her novel. Ammu is one of the central characters in it which is victimized through all the evils rampant in the society. Social realism is reflected in the form of Casteism, Corruption, Capitalism, Androcracy, Industrialism, Untouchability, Gender discrimination etc. Ammu is a vivid and symbolic reflection of social ethos for an average Indian woman. She contains the potential spirit of protest like Velutha and fights till her end.
