Social Realism in Arundhati Roy’s Novel "The God of Small Things"

Mr Altaf Ahmad Ganaie

Abstract :

Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things can be seen as one of the most powerful novels on a definite social problem, that of the oppression of the downtrodden, also touching upon related problems. It problematizes the oppressive machinery based on caste discrimination and collusion with it of certain political forces. The researcher aims to highlight the social discriminations which the characters suffer throughout the novel .The most bitter attack is carried in the novel against the sham lives lived out by the politicians whose double standards of behaviour and talk are exposed by the author.
