Abstract

Upamanyu Chatterjee is one of the major writers who focus on the societal problems in contemporary Indian writing in English. This current paper is an endeavor to investigate 'Investigation of Societal Conflicts in the Novels of Upamanyu Chatterjee'. His books are written in a diverting style and parody on Indian Administrative Service and Indian working class family issues. His significant topics are the metropolitan and provincial life, degenerate administration and familial issues. His books are worried about the contemporary Indian issues – monetary, cultural, political and social. English, August: An Indian Story (1988) is spin-off of The Mammaries of the Welfare State (2004) and The Last Burden (1993). Every one of his compositions mirrors changing family texture, escape clauses in Indian Administrative framework and rootlessness of youth of the current India. He is the voice of upper working class Indian taught metropolitan youth who are drawn in western culture. Chatterjee books show the cultural struggles of people in different circumstances. The fundamental characters are confronting cultural struggles in the public eye. Struggle emerges for various reasons in human culture
