Abstract
This research paper focuses on Indian English literature, particularly the works of contemporary Indian author Chetan Bhagat. Bhagat is regarded as a significant cultural figure in India and is also known as one of the prominent screenwriters in contemporary Indian literature. His novels, including Five Point Someone, The 3 Mistakes of My Life, 2 States, and One Night @ the Call Center, explore various themes such as autobiographical elements, Indian culture, feminism, and youth empowerment. From a cultural perspective, Bhagat incorporates diverse cultural elements, including counterculture, cross-culture, and multiculturalism. In his novel 2 States, numerous incidents highlight the complexities of multicultural conflicts. The story also reflects Bhagat's exploration of intercultural marriages, particularly the union between Punjabi and Tamil families. The novel delves into themes of cross-cultural encounters, multicultural tensions, and the challenges posed by different customs and traditions, offering a reflection of contemporary Indian society.
