Postmodernism in Indian English Literature refers to the literary works produced after 1980. While Raja Rao's "Kanthapura" (1938) represents modernism, Salman Rushdies "Midnights Children" (1981) and Nissim Ezekiel's "Latter-Day Psalms" (1982) signify the emergence of postmodernism. Chetan Bhagat, an influential figure in contemporary India, has gained recognition as a prominent writer in the realm of postmodern fiction. Although he may not have received prestigious awards, his name is widely recognized among college students throughout India. While the global literary scene often focuses on India's past, Bhagat has successfully embraced the present and captivated readers with his humorous yet gritty portrayals of life's realities. Through his writing, he has brought about a revolution in postmodern literature, reflecting its essence. Bhagat believes that literature serves the purpose of showcasing society, and this paper aims to demonstrate and justify why he is considered a postmodernist writer, drawing evidence from his works.
