Abstract:

Both Begum Rokeya's earlier and Arundhati Roy's more recent voices have advocated for women's freedom in essentially the same ways. Although critics have examined how they raise their voices against women’s exploitation, the current situation of women’s suffering when comparing Rokeya and Arundhati’s dreams is not shown. In order to demonstrate a gap in their research, the study compared the conditions of women in Rokeya's literature with the state of current society by discussing Arundhati's works. This essay is written using Begum Rokeya's Sultana's Dream and Arundhati Roy's The God of Small

Abstract:

This essay evaluates features in Arundhati Roy’s non-fiction or political essays. Through the course of her works, she opens up a whole spectrum of questions: can fiction and non-fiction occupy a common ground without dissolving their generic differences, does non-fiction become activism if it strays too far away from conventional practices and actively promotes acts of resistance, can writers choose not to take into account the upheavals that they witness, is silence defensible on the grounds that the political is polemical and fiction is subtle? Roy posits that she is a writer creatively eng

Abstract:

Abstract Indian novelist and Booker winner Arundhati Roy is a celebrity author, but her celebrityhood is a cross-genre and cross-domain one. This essay argues that a certain insurgent celebrityhood emerges in the case of Roy through her mobility into and across many public domains. In this process of mobility, Roy also mobilises in her rhetoric and her polemics, the precariat public sphere by her participation in it. There is, first her generic mobility (across genres).

Abstract:

Arundhati Royâ€™s political essays are focused on highlighting her struggle for the powerless class of the world. She tries to make space for justice, right and freedom for the voiceless and silenced class in the society. Social justice is the foundation for peace. She does not advocate meek surrender or violent resistance but fights with a true democratic spirit and non violent principle under the constitutional concept. There is a dangerous systemic flaw in parliamentary democracy. The system of checks and balances as the pillars of the democracy weakens. Democratic institut

This study examines Arundhati Roy's The Ministry of Utmost Happiness (2017), a complex narrative exploring India's divided society. Departing from the magical realism of The God of Small Things (1997), Roy's second novel reflects her activism experience, confronting social injustice. Through interconnected stories of Anjum, a transsexual individual, and Tilo, an architect entangled in Kashmir's civil war, Roy portrays postcolonial/ neocolonial India's multifaceted conflicts (religious, political, social, sexual). Amidst hallucinatory violence and moments of harmony, characters traverse seeming

Abstract:

This paper explores the intricate portrayal of the smallness of God in Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things, focusing on the character of Velutha. Drawing on Emmanuel Levinas’s concept of kenosis (self-emptying) and his philosophy of ethical responsibility, this study examines Velutha as an embodiment of divinity in the marginalized. Unlike conventional representations of God as omnipotent, Roy presents divinity in the minute, fragile, and often overlooked aspects of life. By analyzing Velutha’s role within the socio-political landscape of caste and power, this paper argues that Roy redefin

Abstract:

Arundhati Roy is not only an author but also a committed environmentalist and campaigner for human rights. She is widely credited with revitalising the effort to halt the enormous Narmada Dams project, in particular the construction of the Sardar Sarovar Dam. Besides writing, she has acquired a distinctive place in the mind of people as an activist. Roy shows a propensity to explore environmental issues and the devastation of the ecosystem due to human avarice in her writings. The river has been the lifeline of our society and culture since ancient times, but in recent times it has lost its gl

<strong>Abstract:</strong>Arundhati Roy uses elements of magic realism in her Booker Prize-winning first novel. The author's second novel, published in 2017, is a departure from the anti-global function of his first, 1997's The God of Small Things, focusing instead on beauty. The book's harsh criticism of movements like those fighting for anti-globalization, ecological preservation, nuclear disarmament, and land rights for the people of Kashmir is based on vulnerability tropes that influence both individuals and their environs. The Ministry of Utmost Happiness employs a kaleidoscopic style of

Abstract:

Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things is a novel which deals with subalternities of different kinds. Among them is the question of gender, caste and class concluding that gender is not the primary determinant of subalternity in Roy’s novel. While many of the characters are gendered this is not the primary cause. It is society and multiple power structutures simultaneously which determine the fate of the characters’ domineering roles and not their birth, essentialistically determined. It is in something else that we must find the primary cause for domination according to Roy. The dominated su

Abstract:

Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things illustrates ecofeminism by creating hierarchical dualisms and identifying the victims within these structures. Ecofeminism in a postcolonial context analyses the intertwined systems of oppression that arise from the intersection of colonialism, patriarchy, and environmental exploitation. It explores how patriarchal domination and capitalist patriarchy together impact the postcolonial environment and its people. Thus, both ecological and feminist issues highlight the locus of the ‘Other’ or the ‘Subaltern,’ who are exploited by the ‘Superior Self’ in term
