Abstract: The liberalization of the Indian economy has dramatically and drastically influenced social life in India and scholars have commented extensively upon how the image of a ‘New India’ brand has been created by media, corporate power houses and politicians based on the changes witnessed as a result of economic reformation. The creation of this ‘New India’ brand accompanies the attempt to construct a new generation Indian subject who will play an integral role in narrating this new liberalized nation. Bhagat’s novels and protagonists are, in part, representative of the new generation Indian youth in more ways, as his novels center on the dynamics of metropolitan life and the influence of economic liberalization amongst this new generation Indian youth. The present research paper significantly sheds light on the new generation youth expressed and delineated through the dynamic characters in Five Point Someone. Keywords: New India, Zippes, liberalization, privatization, globalization, modernization etc. The generation of young India post liberalization, privatization and globalization in the early 1990s can be classified as the ‘New Generation Indian.’ Economic liberalization has increased the presence of capital, technology and information by decreasing the barriers to foreign investment and through its promotion of the modernization of telecommunications. This has resulted in a globalization of not just the economy but also lifestyles at an accelerated speed, particularly among those of the middle class belonging to the urban centres of India.

  • In Chetan Bhagat's Five Point Someone
    © 2021 JETIR July 2021, Volume 8, Issue 7 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) A study of Realism – Social and Psychological – in Chetan Bhagat’s Five Point Someone Krishnarjun Polakulath, BA student, Department of English and Language, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Kochi campus, India. Abstract This paper attempts to understand the concept of realism, both individual and social, in the popular novel written by Chetan Bhagat, Five Point Someone. In a broader sense, realism is the true representation of events and facts without the added frills of drama and exaggerations. While psychological realism is the faithful narration of a character and the factors that influence their decisions, social realism means the depiction of the society in all its true colours – good and bad. In Five Point Someone, Chetan Bhagat catches the young generation in their natural setting, vulnerable, friendly, confused, ambitious and daring. And, through the novel, he gives a strong message regarding the perils of the existing educational system in the country. He also touches upon some of the major issues faced by the youth in country including unemployment, poverty and social injustice. This paper is an honest attempt to understand the literary technique of realism that takes this novel to a new realm of reading. Keywords: Realism, psychological realism, social realism, social injustice, education system Introduction Chetan Bhagat could easily be called a writer for the new generation as he always chooses youngsters as his main characters and depict their world as true as possible. Five Point Someone, his first novel, centers around three IIT students while the next, One Night @ the Call Center, tells the story of youngsters ’career choices through six call centre employees.
