Description
Arundhati Roy is one of the few Indian English writers actively interested in contemporary sociopolitical issues as is amply evidenced in a number of articles, interviews and books she has written on various topics in recent years. The impact of her novel The God of Small Things is all the more significant considering that the author has so far produced only one novel. The contribution of women writers to Indian literature in English is certainly too prominent to escape the attention of scholarly critics. Since women writers present “the doubly colonized”1 section of society in the Indian literature in English, the attempt to read their novels in the light of postcolonial theory is logical. Values are the internal precepts by which we make our decisions. When we are confronted by choices, opinions or moral dilemmas, the decisions we make will indicate what values we hold. The five human and moral values are righteousness, peace, truth, love and non-violence. Human Values give worthiness and respect to life.
Arundhati Roy acclaimed to be one of them who reflected those issues without any hesitation and had to undergo to a troublesome state. On the other hand she had won many awards for upholding such realistic themes in her writings, for instance she bagged Sydney peace award in May 2004 for her social work. Arundhati Roy’s is rich in cultural values of India in the time after the colonialism. It includes the phenomena of caste and gender bias. The system of caste in India has big impact to the position of people in society. It becomes an important consideration when someone wants to make relationship with other people. My paper will focus on the cultural values regarding caste and gender bias depicted in this novel.
