Traditional realism in the novels of Vikram Seth's A Suitable Boy
Keywords:
tolerance secularism, New NovelAbstract
Marathi novelists for many years were just interested in making up people and plotlines that weren't even real. It was a product of the restricted literary culture of colonial anglophiles. Indian independence, World War II, and exposure to Western literature in the 1960s all contributed to expanding the horizons of Marathi fiction. 'Tolerance, judiciousness, liberalism, personal and moral discrimination' were some of the values that the new book and others defended. Aside from its representation of one or the other groups or subgroups in society, this new book was limited in scope. An effort to include the life of all cultures that are intrinsically woven into the story of the original book was made by Arun Sadhu's translation of Vikram Seth's novel A Suitable Boy (1993). It is the goal of this research to examine how Seth's postcolonial multiculturalism is introduced into Marathi literary culture via Arun Sadhu's translation of Seth's work.
