Abstract	Social development is directly associated with the culture of that society. Certain values and beliefs are inculcated through the culture in which human beings live. The social institutions like family and religion play a vital role in social development. Family is the foundation of social institution which shapes values, beliefs and behavior of human beings. Similarly religious values, practices deeply affect moral and ethical behavior. It shapes not only spiritual beliefs but also social structures. As a cultural institution, religion fosters community cohesion, hopefulness and strength. The aid/help provided by religious communities during the natural disasters and social upheavals leads towards social development. Education system, Political and legal systems are also deeply connected to the culture. Social development based on social culture is deeply related with feminism, as both are deeply concerned with the roles, rights and power dynamics of different genders within society. Feminism aims at deconstruction of Gender Norms prevalent in society. It emphasizes the importance of education for all the genders, particularly for women, who have historically been excluded from formal education in many societies. It also challenges patriarchal set-up of society which gives primary place to men. Feminism challenges existing cultural norms that perpetuate gender inequality advocating from changes in laws, cultural practices and social structures that facilitate gender equality. This push for change has a direct impact on social development as it leads to dismantling of discriminatory systems. Social development based on social culture is one of the key themes in the works of Dalip kaur Tiwana, Shashi Deshpande, Anita Desai and Amrita Pritam. All these four writers have presented the contribution of culture in the lives of the female characters.
