Abstract
‘The God of Small Things’ is a literary masterpiece by Arundhati Roy that highlights the unconventional style of writing with a gamut of literary techniques employed using the non-sequential narrative and a meticulous use of dialect that serves to highlight the differences present between the various social groups of Kerala primarily in the 1960s. There are notable features in the novel that includes the use of non-standard English, which highlights dialect, and variations in syntax and word choice which represents the cultural and linguistic diversity of India in the characters and setting of the novel. There are numerous and detailed picturesque descriptions of the environment presented through a variety of language techniques in the novel which is truly the soul of the novel and also brings out distinctly the intertwined social and cultural setting of the life in India while exploring the themes of caste, love and power.
