How does the author succeed in raising crucial social issues not through open criticism but through subtle suggestion?

Arundhati Roy raised a crucial issue putting a light on male and female discrimination in society we live in. She directly hit her subtle suggestions on what actually women are facing in the society and hoe men exploit them. She tried to describe the current scenario, our society puts more emphasis on male giving less privilege to females. Like in a story Pappachi can’t see Mammachi working and getting success and appreciation because he thinks that he is only eligible for it and likes him many other men think same, this thinking had come from our society only. Men violet women but they are asked to shut their mouth and accept as it is. With this Roy was trying to raise a social issue with the help of story and suggested every woman raise voice for her right.
