Abstract :

Chetan Bhagat, is one among the postmodernists. He is immensely influenced by the political and cultural milieu of post independent India. Cultural fragmentation, colonial and neo-colonial power structures, cultural de-generation, the materialistic off shoots of modern civilization, dying of human relationships, blending of facts and fantasy, search for love and security, diasporas are the core elements in the writings of Chethan Bhagath. He has opened the floodgates for a new movement in Postmodern Indian Writing. While the global literary dwell on the fiction of India‘s past, Chetan Bhagat has become India‘s favorite writer by embracing the present. According to him, the purpose of literature is to raise a mirror to society. Chetan Bhagat, an investment banker turned into a prolific writer and through his writings he always focused on youth, career and issues based on national development with the element of Globalization. He stresses on globalization rather than nationalization. As for India Globalization has become a buzz word after 1991 and day by day this buzzing word is getting louder. It has touched all the domains particularly global aspects of Indian life and experience. Globalization is no longer theoretical concept; it is a glaring reality, impinging upon almost every aspect of human existence. The fast growing cities and the overall urbanization that we have been witnessing across India are the direct effect of Globalization. To make this point clear and possibly encompassing, my paper approaches Bhagath’s fictional works mentioned in the title in a deductive way. First it talks about the aspects of globalization and there after relates them to the works under consideration. Bhagath’s fictions reflect the scene in Globalizing cities in India. In his One Night @ the Call Center, we come across fast growing city structures like Gurgaon where now massive apartments and commercial malls are under construction, where people feel that they are moving through the maze of construction items. The BPO sector rapidly developed in urban India and could create lakhs of jobs by the mid of first decade of 21st century. Bhagath very clearly depicts this Globalized atmosphere in the above cited work.
