  • Patriarchy in Chetan Bhagat's Revolution 2020
    ============================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 18:3 March 2018 Dr. T. Deivasigamani, Editor: Indian Writing in English: A Subaltern Perspective Annamalai University, Tamilnadu, India ============================================================== Patriarchy in Chetan Bhagat’s Revolution 2020 Albertine Shobana, Ph.D. Scholar and Dr. Palanivel ===================================================================== Abstract Patriarchal system in an Indian society means that the family unit is based on the household structure, where a single male is the head of house. Usually this role does belong to the father or the male earning member. He does make choice in terms of marriage alliance, both daughters and sons, decision about buying and selling properties, and maintaining family property day-to-day life. In addition, a patriarchal character of the Indian family is that a girl has to leave her father’s house to live with her in-laws for the rest of her life, meaning she is under the continuous protection of a male. And because an inheritance in India is usually traced through man, not a woman, the whole family sets are related to males who live together and share a property or even in case of tribal groups, a wife. As a consequence of a male dominated role in a family and kinship system women are treated as a less important tool in kinship and often an easy a disposable member, simply replaceable by new brides. This idea of patriarchy is still persistent in the novels of the male writers of India. The major Indian writers’ themes are analysed with extra reference to Chetan Bhagat’s Revolution 2020, a contemporary novelist of pop literature, portraying modernised India and youth in a patriarchal attitude.

  • An Analysis of Chetan Bhagat's Novel Half Girlfriend

Email: [email protected] 2Assistant Professor, KIIT University Received May 10, 2017; Revised July 24, 2017; Accepted July 30, 2017; Published August 23, 2017. Abstract Humour is the heart of literature that provokes laughter and provides amusement. As the main ingredient, humour intends to induce enjoyment, breaks the dullness, boredom, tiresomeness and makes the audience’s nerves relaxed. George Meredith (1828-1909) in his Essay on Comedy and the Uses of Comic Spirit (1877) considers as the excellent test of the civilization of a country to be “the flourishing of comic idea and comedy” and it is of the true comedy that “it shall awaken thoughtful laughter” (Meredith 140). David Lubar an author of humorous books rightly remarks that “Humor brings pleasure, eases pain and makes the world a better place.” People of all ages respond to humour and satire. “The satirist presupposes an educated readership which will easily be able to discover the implicit morality without any help other than a few ironic hints from the writer.” In fact they are short in supply. This paper aims at exploring Chetan Bhagat’s Half Girlfriend in terms of its tone of humour and satire. In almost all his fictions, Chetan Bhagat has captured his deep concern about the adolescence in a comic and satiric way.
