Exploration of Cross-Cultural Solidarity in Chetan Bhagat’s 2 States

Abstract

This research examines the cross-cultural solidarity between North and South Indian cultures in Chetan Bhagat’s 2 States. These two cultures of India have played an inevitable role for the sake of Indian nationality. The central characters of the novel, Krish and Ananya represent two diverse cultures. Though Krish and Ananya are one for cross-cultural harmony, but their parents are stubborn in their regional cultures. Anyway, with the passage of time, Krish and Ananya become successful to coax their parents for cross-cultural love marriage. The cross-cultural love marriage between Krish and Ananya deconstructs the deep-rooted attitudes of South and North Indian people regarding inter-state homogenous cultural marriage which was exercised in Indian for a long time. At last, these two cultures reconcile for nationality.
