 The sheer radicalism in the writings is considered as the chief theme of the prolific postmodern writer Amit Chaudhuri. Being a radical essentially, Amit Chaudhuri pointed out the reason behind the drabness of Indian society is the intermittent lust for material pleasure. As he mentioned, the truly sensitive and intellectual person is a complete misfit in the modern society. The present day communalism and increasing intolerance in the society mortified him and his writings are the vibrant protest against the dowdiness of the Postcolonial Indian society.
