A Conflict between Tradition and Modernity: Analysis of Marital Issues in Chetan Bhagat’s Select Works

Abstract

Traditional values, beliefs, practices, and norms are the target of modernism. Modernism’s goal is to eliminate the unfairness, exploitation, and other forms of oppression at the heart of its philosophy. Modern man is eager to learn and grow but also calculating and manipulative. In every aspect of our lives, we have the impact of modernism. Modernism has influenced people’s everyday lives, customs, and habits in today’s society at the fundamental level. Because of these elements, Chetan Bhagat’s fictional tales are traced back to this process of structural transformation. Our society is undergoing fundamental transformation because of these developments. 2 States: The Story of My Marriage and Revolution 2020 by Chetan Bhagat are two great examples of this. This paper attempts to analyse the conflict between tradition and modernity in the marital issues through two novels.
