Bachelor Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Wuppertal (Anglistik / Amerikanistik), language: English, abstract: Arundhati Roy's novel "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness" and Vishwajyoti Ghosh's graphic novel "Delhi Calm" are two seemingly very disparate narratives due to their differences in themes, genre and media. However, as this thesis argues, despite their differences, both are part of the same literary development and, therefore, highlight the innovative potential and variety of contemporary Indian English Writing. Moreover, as this thesis further argues, both narratives can be read as significant and innovative contributions to this growing body of post-millennial Indian Writing in English and the overall canon of IWE, as they show different and unique ways of depicting and critiquing the Indian nation and offer new approaches to literary realism.
