Abstract: In the global arena, domesticity is consistently undergoing phenomenal changes which is reflected in the Indian family system as well. The lack of work-life balance, work pressure, dwindled time spent with the family members are all key characteristic features of a modern family. In the current decade, the concept of gender equality and role of caring men in the family has gained more importance in sustaining the functional domestic ambience. The conflicts that arise in a family is better combatted through gender equality initiatives. This paper focuses on the dysfunctional elements in a family and the ways in which caring masculinity plays a crucial role in resolving the same. Recent Indian literature novels are chosen to analyse and address the issue in an effective manner. Thus, the correlation between dysfunctionalities or conflicts in the family and how an evolving masculine identity like caring masculinity could provide a practical solution is discussed in-depth in this research.
