Throughout the long term, Indian journalists have tended to or addressed issues such as the incredible and predictable rise of the west and its impact on forming global governmental issues, imperialism and its impact on India's current socio-political construction, and much more that has a sense of history attached to it in their books. Few people can come up with tiny jabs and quips that exactly reflect the speech patterns of the country's lower-class citizens. In Aravind Adiga's “The White Tiger” and Amitav Gosh's “The Shadow Lines,” the risky individuals of Indian culture are largely tamed [1]. They examine themes including globalization, commercialization, the rise of realism, and the social evils that afflict modern civilization, as well as a few others that have the power to alter the advanced human mind. The authors' enlightened attitude toward the underclass is evident in their writing. This study also looks into the impact of fragmentation on federation, as well as the challenges of distance and existential crises in the lives of the burdened.
