Abstract
India is one of the colonized countries that underwent radical changes during and aftermath of the colonized rule. The cultural imbalances created by the rulers on the people and on the nation had created a numerous changes on the culture and tradition, right from the attire to the attitude everything becomes anglicized. English- speaking Indians were offered important jobs during their reign; the same attitude has been followed still. In India, speaking in English is still a sign of sheer intelligence, and that has become a common requirement for a job. In the writings of Chetan Bhagat, he picks a commoner as his protagonist and presents his sufferings in an omniscient narrative. His narratives went through different thematic contents interwoven within such as love, friendship and difficulties faced by middle class youngsters hailing from both rural and urban.
