Abstract
The Chief concern in this article is to examine the sense of alienation in the select novels of Arun Joshi. How does the Modern human find himself/herself estranged not only from his fellow human but also from himself/herself? It focuses mainly on how the modern man is alienated in various ways. It also analyses today’s world which has shrunk in spirit, languishing in confusion, frustration, disintegration, disillusionment, and meaninglessness. The theme ‘alienation’ is one of the predominant themes in the novels of Arun Joshi. His characters are alienated individuals in environments of crisis and emotional disturbances.
