THEMATIC CONCERNS AND TECHNIQUES IN THE NOVELS OF UPAMANYU CHATTERJEE

Abstract

Upamanyu Chatterjee is one of the most well-known and successful Indian writers working in English literature today. This research paper explores the deeper levels of theme and method in his books. With a strong socio-cultural and Indian foundation, Chatterjee's fields of research encompass a wide range of subjects while yet being heavily influenced by India's rich cultural legacy. Spiritualism and nationalism are included in this section. He shares Aurobindo Ghosh's view that nationalism is a genuine dedication to one's nation and its people, regardless of their caste, gender, race, or social status. India is a multi-religious, multilingual, and multicultural nation. There have always been religious and cultural conflicts. Conservative and narrow-minded politicians and religious leaders have frequently deceived the populace, which has occasionally resulted in riots. Over the years, India has continued to flourish in spite of several invasions and incursions. India's greatest strength is its spirituality. They have made it stronger in every attack, both internal and foreign. According to Upamanyu Chatterjee, the evil forces endangering the peace and harmony of the nation may be vanquished by comprehending the core values of Indian culture. Examining and evaluating the subject issues and literary devices he employs is the main goal of this research endeavor. In contrast to earlier research, this piece is a reasonable endeavor to learn more and more about his literary brilliance.
