• W3124570886 abstract "narrative of Arundhati Roy's novel, God of Small Things, subtly allegorizes a Europe which is present as a subtext in this novel. Imperialism, communism, Cold War and Germany prevail as a leitmotif, especially, through multiple references to the American musical, Sound of Music. Roy conveys the human experience communicated to her and incorporates it into the body of her narrative. This paper posits that the politics of the novel is encoded in the subtext of the narrative, where Roy uses her imagination of Europe, in and after the Cold War, as a vehicle of postcolonial resistance. This paper attempts to unravel the dialectics of Roy's perception in imagining a Europe in the postcolonial Indian scenario, exposing the mockery of social systems and human values.Arundhati Roy is both inspired and challenged by what she perceives as European values, such as human rights, democracy and a nondiscriminatory society. narrative of her 1997 Man Booker Prize winning novel, God of Small Things, is set in a non-Eurocentric India, that is, in the Southern Indian State of Kerala. Roy subtly allegorizes a Europe which is present as a subtext in this novel. Imperialism, communism, Cold War and Germany prevail as a leitmotif, especially, through multiple references to the 1965 American musical film, The Sound of Music, in different variations throughout the text. Born into a Syrian Christian background, highly educated, exposed to a decadent communism, a society rife with discrimination and abuse, Roy communicates the human experience she observed and incorporates it into the body of her narrative. This paper posits that the politics of the novel is encoded in the subtext of the narrative, where Roy uses her imagination of Europe, in and after the Cold War, as a vehicle of postcolonial resistance. challenges faced by the protagonists of God of Small Things, Rahel and Estha, dizygotic twins and their subsequent compromise with life is representative of what Roy imagines to be the predicament of the denizens of the East and West European States, especially Germany, in and after the Cold War. image of the European barbarian finds expression in Velutha, the untouchable, in the novel. focus of this paper is to unravel the dialectics of Roy's perception in imagining a Europe in the postcolonial Indian scenario. Europe and its conflicting values of imperialism and socialism have been made universal as Roy exposes the mockery of social systems and human values.Writer and human rights activist Arundhati Roy is at once inspired and challenged by European values: human rights, democracy and a nondiscriminatory society. Her only work of fiction, God of Small Things (TGST henceforth) that won her the 1997 Man Booker prize, is set in Kerala, in postcolonial India. Kerala, populated mostly by Syrian Christians and Hindus is not Eurocentric. Born of a Bengali father and a Syrian Christian mother, Roy has perceived deprivation and marginalization in everyday life. Thus sensitized, she projects this in both the characters in the text and the narrative itself. human experience communicated to her is incorporated into the body of her narrative. Roy's portrayal of the Syrian Christian community she herself grew up in is evocative. It exposes the community's nostalgia for all things that are European or have the flavor of the West. Anglophilia is an ingredient of the upper-class society, who in the name of secularity, democracy, racelessness and classlessness actually turn racist, sexist and exploitative. focus of this paper is to unravel and examine Arundhati Roy's perception in imagining a Europe in the psycho-sociological plane in postcolonial India that dialectically points to a subtle resistance at the basic level of society. paper first takes into account the inherent nostalgia of the people for clinging on to the West; secondly, it discusses communism in Kerala; and finally, talks about the social discrimination of the underprivileged class and gender, comparable to the European barbarians. …" @default.
