摘要

Alzheimer’s disease [AD] is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by the memory loss, cognitive decline, and the presence of two key pathological features in the brain, the neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques. It is the most common cause of cognitive impairment among the elderly and has a significantly high prevalence. This article explores the complexities and management of patient in a family suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. The study identifies the complex relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and memory of the past in the context of mother–daughter relationships, with a focus on the subtle tension between mother and daughter portrayed in Avni Doshi’s, Girl in White Cotton (Burnt Sugar). The novel provides a moving analysis of how Tara’s relationship with her daughter Antara becomes even tenser as a result of her Alzheimer’s disease. The study addresses issues of memory, identity, and family strife via a careful examination of their bond. The study highlights how Alzheimer’s disease undermines traditional ideas of maternal responsibilities and the maintenance of familial identity by placing this conversation within a worldwide and particularly Indian cultural framework.
