Abstract

This research paper aims to analyze the notion globalization and the element of politicization in Roy’s The God of Small Things. The writer discusses a number of socio-political issues in India through the use of the device of political satire in her writings.  In the novel characters move from personal life to public. In Current paper politics works at two major levels in the present study: firstly, domestic; and secondly at global. In this context, this study is particularly concerned with certain political issues in India. The paper exhibits Roy’s selected novel functioning as a political activism against both; domestic as well as global politics. Moreover, it reflects that how literature functions as a social weapon to debate socio-political predicaments. This qualitative study rests on theory of dissent that is a philosophically political theory which means opposition, disagreement, or deviation from traditional norms of something.

Key Words; globalization, politics, satire, dissent.
