Caste Instincts in Amitav Ghosh’s Sea of Poppies
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Caste and class have jointly determined the position of an individual in the society. Especially rural areas have shown ardent interest in the rituals and strictures to be followed. Urban areas are no exception where if not for caste, class distinctions have been in the fore. This paper aims to bring out the implications of caste and creed as portrayed in Amitav Ghosh’s novel Sea of Poppies. It shows a clear picture of people being suppressed in the name of difference of caste and class being conferred by birth for which they hold no responsibility. Most of the characters whether Indians like Neel, Deeti, Bhyro Singh or of foreign descent like Burnham and Chillingworth have a strong hold towards their beliefs. With the advent of time, some accept the change in their social conditions while some stick to their way of life till the end.
