Abstract:

Chetan Bhagat is among the most popular writers in contemporary Indian English literature. Although his novels are frequently criticized for their uncomplicated language and mass appeal, they continue to attract a vast readership, particularly among young Indians. This paper examines how Bhagat employs simple and easily understandable language to present complex social issues such as youth ambitions, pressure of education, unemployment, romantic relationships, class divisions, and identity struggles in present-day India. Using qualitative textual analysis of selected novels, the study explores recurring themes, narrative techniques, and the social relevance of his writing. The paper argues that Bhagat’s use of simplicity is a purposeful literary choice that enables him to address serious concerns and reach a wider audience. His fiction reflects the realities of contemporary Indian society, highlighting both its challenges and contradictions.
