Protest against social stratification in Arundhati Roy’s The God of small things
Authors
N Manjula
Abstract
Through this novel, Roy presents the theme of minority that questions about the system of caste itself and its hypocrisy around the system. Roy admits that the unique mixture between progressivism and slinkiness, which are extreme in Kerala, inspires her to reflect the most basic human natures. It also protests the socio cultural reality that is sensitive in India. The God of Small Things is a postcolonial novel. The horizon of this unfinished redefinition (which is always a process anyway) is determined by a corruption of the independence ideals, current social problems, internal tensions and the clash between partial modernization and traditional mentalities. Self-consolidation is waiting on the way all these elements are managed. But, apart from internal problems, this self-consolidation process has international implications. According to events inside the nation, the still unsettled place of the post-colonies in a new world order will be defined.
