Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Literature - Asia, , language: English, abstract: It is not out of question to discuss the multicultural nature of Indian tradition many a times at different stages with different definitions. This text is looking at Chetan Bhagat's Novel "2 States: The Story of My Marriage". My observations on the protagonist of the novel and his companion lead to a keen observation on two things. One is on the culture of North and the rest is the South. These two are well represented by the novelist excellently portraying two major characters. One represents The South Indian Tamil and the other North Indian Delhi. These two principal characters move throughout the novel throwing light on the cultural differences between these two cultures of the same nation. Now and then, the novelist glanced into the characters to discuss these differences in the form of a debate introducing some minor characters.
