Abstract:
Amit Chaudhuri is a versatile writer of contemporary Indian English Literature. He is renowned for his novels and essays. In his novels, Chaudhuri often uses Calcutta as the thematic background to explore the social, cultural, and political changes that have taken place in India over the past few decades. He portrays the city as a site of struggle and conflict, where different social classes and cultural identities collide. Through his characters, he explores the tension between tradition and modernity and the challenges of adapting to a changing society. Amit Chaudhuri can be called a regionalist as he explores his region and its multiple aspects, such as local colour, people, dialect, customs, traditions, landscape etc. As a result, this study will proceed with the distinguished idea that Chaudhuri’s works are strongly set in his region, Calcutta, and that, as a regionalist, he has attempted to convey the accurate picture of Calcutta employing all of the elements listed above.
