Synopsis The God of Small Things, the international best seller by Arundhati Roy, has raised numerous questions. Is it a piece of anti-Communist propaganda? Does it distort social reality? Is it a cheap imitation of the western fashion in novel? Does it offer nothing but play with words? The present book examines the novel sociologically and answers all these questions well. The book also shows that the novelist cares for the neglected in the society like women, children and dalits and even the environment. She conveys messages so relevant to our society and our age.
