Manohar Malgonkar’s A Bend in the Ganges (1964) is a carefully written novel about India’s partition, the relevance of Gandhian principles of truth and non-violence in the aftermath of Hindu-Muslim riots, the life of convicts in the Cellular jail in the Andaman islands and the movement of millions of refugees from India to Pakistan and vice-versa. Malgonkar, with a good command of English, has written the novel on a theme and in a style befitting a great work of art. One of the results of British impact on India was the rise of the Indian novel in English as early as in 1864. Indian writers of fiction adapted the Western form and medium to their own tradition of storytelling.

The present research work is a study of the selected fiction of the Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho. The principal objective of the study is to examine critically the selected novels of the writer in order to highlight his obsession with the various types of quests human beings undertake in life. The origin of the present research problem is rooted in the very life of human being. From the beginning of the human history, human life is viewed as an odyssey in search of one thing or the other. Though the modern man enjoys many privileges and facilities in comparison to the primitive one, his search in life has not come to an end. On the contrary the highly awakened mind of the modern man, in turn, has raised many expectations from life, thus setting him on a journey to fulfill those expectations. As a requisite of the study an attempt is made to define quest and state various objectives of a quest, such as treasure or wealth, knowledge, truth, peace, a promised land, a person, an object like Grail or wisdom. Faced with insurmountable obstacles, insoluble mystery, or an enemy with powers that surpass their own, even the mightiest heroes need help to reach their goals. The study also highlights how the quester is helped by various agencies including helpers and guides.

The post colonial, postmodern world is one where myriad worlds and experiences flow, seeping into each other as there are no boundaries or barriers anymore. Today the world is a globalized world where borders have ceased to exist. All concepts of conventionality and rules are broken, and new ones created to give expression to this new phenomenon of rule breaking and free world. Art and literature of this modern world also reflects this trend as is evident in the fiction of Salman Rushdie. The present study attempts to focus on the certain aspects of postmodern perspective in the novel Shalimar the Clown.Rushdie's most acclaimed work has been hailed for envisioning an interface between the postmodern and the postcolonial. Both postcolonialism and postmodernism are concerned with the idea of authority. While the former tries to debunk strictures of imperial authority, the latter makes an attempt to debunk authority in general. Postmodernism and postcolonialism are similar in their concerns with decentring, subverting the dominant discourse and interrogating metanarratives. As a result, it is the marginal and the ex-centric that assumes new significance.

Literature is an echo of emotions and when it emotes sorrow and misery, it resonates so loudly that it rings in the minds of the multitude. Dalit literature reverberates the crisis of the cornered and records the trials and tribulations of the Dalits. This paper showcases the literature of the downtrodden and portrays the emancipation of Dalits with reference to Sivagami’s novel Grip of Change. Social crisis such as discrimination, casteism, Sexual harassment, exploitation of women, intra- dalit strife and so on are discussed as depicted in the novel. The paper throws light upon the author’s remedial measures of the social crisis such as unity, inter –caste marriage, good leadership and education. Thus in the lives of dalits, as like food; the fortitude to fight, the unity to stand up; the courage to withstand, the education to enrich; the leadership to light; the faith to face the failure and the hope to hold on to life; are inevitable.

Night of the Scorpion explores the benign love of mother. Images are the interpretation of good and bad, rationalisn and superstition, intelligence and ignorance. Humane is seen through the words of mother the very image of love. Developement in the mind of child is seen with the development of society. Father's helplessness is the helpness of the people in the society. Indian philosophy of birth and death is presentd here. Reference of ten hours and twenty hours again depecit the culture of indians who rely on time for all the acts and deed on life. The poem starts with dialobic act of the scorpion which is the christian faith of the author where the necessary for redemption of Jesus starts with the committed sin of Adam and Eve who ate the forbitten fruit. Villagers chants which had no effect on the authors mother are like the words of prophets and messiah which has not effect on the human being the sinners of the earth. Suffering in this world are like the wax applied on the authors mother that burns her along with the pain of the sting in her body.
