Dynamics of Love in Chetan Bhagat’s half girlfriend.

Abstract

Commenting on the ongoing debates on Chetan Bhagat’s literary qualities is itself identifying him as the author who has to be studied and judged well and just cannot be ignored as demeaning. Author of ten novels, he made an open statement that he is not looking for Booker prize and said that he wants to reach as many people as he can, through books, films or other media of entertainment. His literary venture is for different reasons He aspires to reach the contemporary human realities. It is a misconception if anyone says that his books are written exclusively from the male point of view, however he sensitizes the delicate emotions of men and women in broader compass who in turn struggle for identity in achieving their goals. It is pathetic when reviewers call Chetan Bhagat’s fiction as trash literature because of its simple English. Rightly pointed out by Ankit Dubey in Quora “Yes, his writing style is nothing compared to an Ayn Rand, a Rohinton Mistry or a Khad Hosseini, but someone who is selling so much must be doing something right”(Quora 2014 ). It is sympathetic that most of the reviewers stamp the literary quality of a novel without even reading it.
