Glimpses of Contemporary Political Trend in
Namita Gokhale’s Priya in Incredible Indyaa

R. Anandam, M.A., M.Phil.


Abstract

The novels of Namita Gokhale evoke strong fame and furore among the critics and the readers by virtue of their female characters. The heroines of her novels defy social norms, exercise mental balance, accept challenges, assume new roles and face crises to assert their individuality. In Priya in Incredible Indyaa, Gokhale deals with the fortunes of middle class woman against the current to ascend the social ladder. She captures the issues of women empowerment, new attitudes and family relationship in the era of post-Information Technology. Besides the novel also offers insight into the present day political scenario in India, a minor theme which easily eludes the attention of readers.

Keywords: Namita Gokhale, Priya in Incredible Indyaa, contemporary India, political trend.

Politics in Creative Fiction

Politics is a field which offers myriad scope for individuals to serve the nation in unique ways. It requires sense of duty and commitment on the part of people who dare to venture into it. Unfortunately, politics has become a profession these days and politicians take pride in calling themselves as chief executive officers. Politics has become the last resort of self-centrics to cast their evil spell. This article highlights the events of the novels which stand testimony to the existing state of affairs in Indian politics.
