ChetanBhagat: Representing Indian Urban Reality

Abstract

ChetanBhagat brilliantly shows his understanding of the pain and passion of young lot. Most of his characters are young blood. He uses his refined Post-Modern Literature as an element to bring positive change in India, to make young generations‘ mind both technically as well as mentally strong. He helps the people dream through his easy words and provides inspiration through witty examples. The novelist wants to be the part and parcel of the never-ever-before kind of historic changes taking place as India is awakening to its full potential. The surmounting pressure to succeed is one of the reasons that is making India a vibrant, fast growing and fast changing economy and society. His entire writing has emerged up as a potential blockbuster delighting the new generation to find reality in his works thereby developing the mindset of the readers for progressive India, where not only the spirit of patriotism but also the standard of living is high. ChetanBhagat‘s success has demonstrated that there is a huge market for Indian fiction with everyday Indian characters outing out everyday Indian stories. The approach of ChetanBhagat as a novelist explains his characters‘ efforts to obtain sound financial standing in Indian conditions. Talking about New generation authors including ChetanBhagat, must always keep in mind that ― mere eat, drink and be merry‖ is not the sole end of life, that a couple need not run away from their children, entrusting them to the supervision of others, just to make love and get involved in sex in a hotel or dormitory.
