Globalizing Dissent” – A Political and Structural study of Arundhati Roy’s selected works

Abstract

The present paper looks into the socio-political structure of Arundhati Roy’s works. No doubt, she is a queen of dissent as far as the social issue and the political opinion is concerned. It has not only been divulged out of her prestigious style of writing in her novels but in every word, she speaks we can discern her purity of ideals about human life. Her slogan “Globalizing Dissent” has been spoken of and written about widely, but in this paper her dissent and the justification of it can be related to the current situation in India. The disagreement would not be more appropriately enhanced and expressed than in the present political upheaval in the Land of many religions and gods. Starting from the God of Small Things to the Ministry of Utmost Happiness we find the journey is towards the same destination and i.e., the assertion of human rights. Her writings are a type of word-war against the world where there is injustice and inequality. In this present paper we will discuss in depth the political truths of Roy’s some selected works.
