Abstract

Since the Indian subcontinent gained its independence from colonial rule, postcolonial theory has consistently ranked among the most popular academic topics of study in the world. It is the result of a post-colonial condition that has resulted in a massive amount of literature being written about "subaltern" people. The concept of "subaltern," as well as the features connected with the word, have changed significantly as a result of improvements in socioeconomic conditions. As a conscientious writer, Arundhati Roy has focussed her second novel, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, on concealing modern socio-political issues that are significant to the study of "subalterns," notably in the South Asian setting, via the lens of fiction. Due to the book's dedication to "The Unconsoled," it is essentially about everyone and everything that is occurring in fast changing India, notably regarding displaced and disadvantaged people.
