| dc.description.abstract | The dissertation discusses the treatment of power relation in Anand'sThe Road. This is an effort to show the disruption of power relation in Hindu Society in post-independent India. In this novel, Anand presents upper caste people and untouchables in antagonistic relation. Here, Anand wants to impart the message that even after the decolonization by the British Imperialists, notmuch has changed so far as the exploitation of the weak is concerned. But the place to hope is that the upper level people's values are in crisis on the one hand and on the other hand lower class people are struggling to get rise in their status. He saysthat mere legislating the law against the social evil is not a solution for social change, but that the main concern is to stop inhuman practices and conventions by some people who are still clinging to these practices and conventions. He shows necessity of equality of all human being irrespective of class and caste for a happy and a just society. | en_US |
