The researcher selected forty students of grade-VII from a government school; "Shree Badi Malika Secondary School" Syuna, Kalikot, as sample population.A test consisting of five different test items was the main tool for data collection. Apre-test was given before starting teaching to determine the existing proficiency of the students. Then, they were divided into two groups on the basis of the odd-even roll number according to the individual scores obtained in the pre-test. After dividing the minto two groups, both groups were taught the same subject matter using the same materials. Pictures were used for teaching preposition in group ‘A’ and the usual teaching technique was used for teaching prepositions in group 'B'. After the completion of the teaching a post-test (the same pre-test item) was given.

This research basically focuses on the socio-cultural aspects of feminism that are portrayed in this novel. It is not easy to get high education, well-paid job and upgraded form of socio- economic status. Radhika as a protagonist plays the major role to illustrate the modern Indian girl as conceived by Bhagat. Borrowing the ideas from Simone de Beauvoir and Eleanor Marx and drawing references from other scholars such as Jane Freedman this research brings into light the socio-cultural aspects of feminism in One Indian Girl, which has not been explored enough yet. In doing so, it establishes Radhika as a self motivated Indian girl who sets herself free of the stereotypical patriarchal roles at the expense of her determination and industriousness. The study, in this way, paves the path for new researchers to see Bhagat’s works through different spectrums of feminism.
