Critical Analysis Of Bhagat
After all, if they fail to make it out, they are invited to discuss the same with the teachers and other colleagues. In the end, the student finds answer to his inquiry. Nevertheless, such method is a good for nothing in the big so called institute. Bhagat grieves for the sterilized rigidity of the education system. He finds the professors bigotry not to allow any prolific change in the system. Bhagat is straightforward in his approach to life. He listens to the voice of his soul, which he strongly believes in, is ever accurate. The man listening to the inner voice may suffer a big loss but finally emerges out victorious. For instance, all three friends suffer humiliation at college campus. All the teachers with the students take them for nuts, …show more content…
That he has changed the point of view of young generation and is a writer of the youth can be canonized with the point of view that he deals almost all issues pertaining to their life situation because his sensibility next to his minute observation towards life led by modern generation, and specifically, educated ones, allows him to write. Apart from this, he has showed himself to be an alert and expert writer who has experimented with the genre and techniques of novel writings, be it them, narrative techniques, plot construction, and language and there is no shortage of romance, background music, political and sentimental issues in his writings.

Chetan Bhagat has taken the creative appropriateness of novels writing in English like his ancestors such as Mulk Raj Anand, R.K. Narayan and Raja Rao, but this liking of Chetan Bhagat to portray Indian reality can be considered even an extension and partially extermination of his immediate predecessors like Vikram Seth, Salman Rushdie, Arundhti Roy who changed the face of Indian novel in English with their continue practice of shattering the standard of westernized looking as ‘other’ and ‘substandard’ discussed in Edward Said’s famed treatise Orientalism as he seems to be adopting cosmopolitan standard of writing, eliminating all the linguistic and geographical barricade. The present novel 2 States also, is one of the best sellers of Chetan Bhagat, firstly, because the writer admits that this is the imaginative reconstruction of his own life and secondly it touches the sentiments of young generation. Both the factors make this work even more genuine and magnify his own popularity among his fans; however, he also maintains

    The stalwarts of Indian writing in English like Salman Rushdie, Khushwant Singh, Mukul Kesavan, Vikram Chandra, Amitav Ghosh and the like, are writing in a postcolonial space using novel as a means of cultural representation. Their novels are generally assumed to be engaged in postcolonial consciousness but a close study of the thematic range proves that the novels also attempt to universalized humanistic gesture, for human nature and social relationships are as important as the interplay of power and national relationships. Twentieth century novelists were preoccupied with the historic past and the unabated interest of the readers in the novels that depicted the past or that treated some event of national importance having wide repercussions, like the freedom struggle of India. The countrymen’s vitality and their devotion to the cause were amply reflected in the novels of Raja Rao, Mulk Raj Anand and K. A. Abbas in the 1930s and the 1940s; but the most historical event of our age, as is evident from the writings of the Indo-English novelists, was the partition of the Indian subcontinent by the English rulers in the year 1947. The Hindu-Muslim religious and political difference climaxed with this event which led to widespread disturbances. Many novels were written on the theme of Partition, the destruction it brought and the plight of the refugees; but a novel is never a mere recapitulation of historical events. To call Amitav Ghosh’s novel as mere political allegory would be facile. Instead what Ghosh shows is the impact of politics on the lives of ordinary people and human relationships. To do that he uses the historical events as raw material in his novels and The Hungry Tide is one such novel Ghosh wrote at the peak of his powers. This novel is limited to quite a narrow geographical area, i.e., to the Sunderbans in the Bay of Bengal, and perhaps by extension Bengal, and the novelist does this on…

    Chetan bhagat has a vivid style of writing with all his novels written in third person. Once asked about the use of numbers as his novel titles he humor-sly replied to reporter “I’m a banker, I can’t get numbers out of my head”. When his novels reviewed badly by most critics, he called his books as entertainment rather than serious literature. Living so long out of India made him an NRI and currently he is having the citizenship of Singapore. He also writes articles on political issues in columns like Dainik bhaskar and Times of India, Some of his columns have been discussed in parliament.

    The Ugly Kashmiri (Cameos in exile) written by Arvind Gigoo is a unique book because on hundred and eighty cameos (short literary sketches) describe in condensed brevity the history, politics, sociology and psychology of the Kashmiri Muslims and Kashmiri Pandits. It is for the first time in Indian writing in English that one literary piece printed on a full page presents and depicts its subject and speaks volumes about it. What is remarkable about the book is that the author unravels the mind of Muslims, Pandits, politicians, security forces, intellectuals and common people with cold detachment.…

    Gradually with passing time the English language poetry became more indianized in nature. The change that came about reflected the change in mentality that had ushered in among the Indian poets. Such Indianisation had been proceeding for several generations and is prominent in the poetry of Kamala Das and Pritish Nandy and present although more nuanced in the work ofKeki N.Daruwalla it is more likely to be felt in the verse of Nissim Ezekiel and Jayanta Mahapatra or in the kind of rapidly expressed ironies found in the poetry of Ramanujan.…

    Indian English Novel

    • 17475 Words
    • 70 Pages

    The Indian English novel evolved as a subaltern consciousness; as a reaction to break away from the colonial literature. Hence the post colonial literature in India witnessed a revolution against the idiom which the colonial writers followed. Gradually the Indian English authors began employing the techniques of hybrid language, magic realism peppered with native themes. Thus from a post colonial era Indian literature ushered into the modern and then the post-modern era. The saga of the Indian English novel therefore stands as the tale of Changing tradition, the story of a changing India. The stories were there already in India steeped in folklores, myths, written in umpteen languages as India is always the land of stories. However, the concept of Indian English novel or rather the concept of Indians writing in English came much later and it is with the coming of Raja Rao, R.K. Narayan, Mulk Raj Anand, the journey of Indian English Novel began. The early Indian novels which were merely patriotic gained a rather contemporary touch with the coming of Mulk Raj Anand, Raja Rao and R.K.Narayan. The social disparity of India which was aptly described by Mulk Raj Anand in his "Coolie", the imaginary village life with its entire unedited realities in R.K. Narayan`s "Malgudi Days" and last but not the least the aura of Gandhism depicted by Raja Rao in his remarkable novel "Kanthapura" portrayed a whole new India. The need of the `foreigners` depicting India amidst their write ups was not needed as Indians wanted to portray India through their Indian English. That was the beginning of the voyage and with time it gained maturity. Not just the daily lives, not just the social issues, Indian English novel slowly unveiled the grotesque mythical realities of India while opening the window to a plethora of writers. Salman Rushdie, fascinated the Indian intelligentsias with his remarkable understanding of Indian History, as well as unification of Indian history with language. This…
