This chapter examines three novels, written by Arundhati Roy, Kiran Desai and Hari Kunzru. These novels are concerned with the feasibility of sustaining the dynamics of Nancean world-formation in the context of an ever-thickening (neo-)nationalist unrest and global glomicity. The chapter also notes that globalisation is usually held responsible for the elimination of cultural difference and replacing it with worldwide homogeneity.Less
