This book introduces Jhabvala and her novels with reference to the impact of society on modern literature. It explains that Ruth Prawer Jhabvela writes differently from other Indo-Anglian writers due to her different ancestry and traditions, hence she is able to critically examine the east-west encounter in her novels. In this background the writer has probed into the portrayal of traditions, conventions, norms symbols and myths in R.P. Jhabvala’s fiction which is a realistic narrative of contemporary Indian society. This book is a critical survey of social realism in Indo-Anglian literature. This discussion not only prepares the parameters for an in-depth textual analysis of Jhabvala’s novels but also helps in the objective evaluation of the use of social realism as an integral part of a narrative technique. It presents an intensive analysis of the various shades of the Indian social reality. It is developed to critical analysis of her novels-the early and the later. It asserts that each novel of R.P. Jhabvala is a conscious and critical exploration of mature human experiences in a world regulated by social realist and this resumes from Jhabvala’s exploration into the cultural reality the spiritual reality and the social reality of India and her people.
