Arundhati Roy’S the Good of Small Things Is a Rare Work of Fiction Which Has Made a Significant
Impact In Indian English Literature In Recent Years. She Is One of the Few Indian English Writers
Enthusiastically Interested In Contemporary Socio-Political Issues Which Are Adequately Documented In A
Number of Articles, Interviews and Books She Authored on Various Topics In Recent Years. Indian History,
Politics, Caste Distinction, and Suppression Woman and Her Independence As Human Being, All These
Distinct Elements Are Brought Together By Roy, to Shed Vivid Light on the Plight of Women and How They
Live Under Oppressive Forces Including Their Relationships With Men Who Control Them. There Is No
Exaggeration to Say That Women Are Treated As an Object of Lust and Sexual Gratification. They Are Robbed
Of Basic Amenities of Life. They Are Forced to Live In a System of Social Structure and Practices In Which
Men Dominate, Oppress, and Exploit Women.
This Present Paper Is an Attempt to Have a Review of Female Identity and Marginalization In Roy’S God Of
Small Thing, Which Has Been Widely Acclaimed As an Important Book of the Post-Modernist Literary Trend
