Arundhati Roy’s ‘The God of Small Things’ is a profound literary work that exposes the deeply entrenched caste-based discrimination in Indian society. Set in Kerala, the novel intricately weaves personal narratives with broader socio-political realities, shedding light on how the caste system continues to influence relationships, identity, and social mobility in modern India. Through the tragic love story of Ammu and Velutha—a woman from a Syrian Christian upper caste and an untouchable—Roy critiques the brutal consequences of caste-based hierarchies. This research paper explores the representation of caste discrimination in the novel and draws parallels with contemporary Indian society, examining how caste continues to shape societal structures despite constitutional safeguards. The study emphasizes the enduring relevance of Roy’s critique and the role of literature in challenging social injustice.
