Abstract

Chetan Bhagat is regarded as more of a youth icon than a writer. Chetan also publishes columns for the country's leading newspapers, looking to youth and national development most of his characters rebel against conventional social conventions, while his female protagonists’ personas depict natural instincts and values such as those Shaw depicted in plays. With urbanization and globalization having occurred, a number of opportunities have emerged. There is no evidence to support that men are inherently better shots than women. Women have, for the most part, received their due in this globalized environment. There is a recent publication on Bhagat's female protagonists. In the several fictions, the chief female characters, Vidya, Neha, Aarti, Riya, and Ananya exhibit modern-style or postmodern sensibilities that put their cultural Indian womanhood in question.
