| Article Name : | | | RESISTANCE AND REVOLT IN ARUNDHATI ROY'S THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS: A POSTMODERN PERSPECTIVE | | Author Name : | | | SOMVEER | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | ROR-318 | | Article : | |  | Author Profile | | Abstract : | | | In the post-independence era, it is taken for granted that the oppressive system has disappeared with the demise of the Empire, the emergence of democracy, dissemination of education and advancement of science and technology, but the hegemonic system, may be in lesser degree, continues to plague the Indian society both covertly and overtly. But it does not mean these changes are useless and ineffective. The socio-cultural and political changes, in the postcolonial era, have awakened the hitherto marginalized sections to their rights as independent human beings. Conscious of their rights, they interrogate and challenge the system that denies them basic rights to grow in life. The present paper seeks to examine the theme of resistance to and revolt against the still alive oppressive system in Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things. The novel represents the theme through the characters of Ammu, Velutha, Rahel and Estha. The way the theme is treated calls for our attention to the large-scale death and destruction looming large on the social horizon. The novelist presents the view that the cardinal virtues of love, trust, tolerance and brotherhood can go a long way in creating social harmony. The argument illustrates the post-modernist view that peaceful-coexistence is urgently needed to save human race from decay and destruction. | | Keywords : | | - technology,technology
