3. BA English Literature – Final Year Project
· TOPIC –Women Issue and Abuse in Indian Society
· BOOK- The God of Small Things BY Arundhati Roy
· The project was an attempt to analysis the concepts that are mentioned in Arundhati Roy's The God of
Small Things such as history, diaspora, hybridity, the role of women in Indian society, globalization,
resistance and orientalism. The study was a qualitative-based research as it gives the opportunity to read,
reread, explore, examine and criticize the novel thoroughly. I had tried to analyse the experiences of
human beings through the words and phrases of the book. The sample of the study is Arundhati Roy’s
The God of Small Things. The reason for selecting this novel as my project was because this novel
intensely deals with main motives and objectives of this study i.e., to examine the women issues and
abuse in Indian society. The data was analysed through textual analysis method as it helped me to
understand human being’s behaviour, their culture and subcultures as well as their involvement in
society.
