Abstract
The simple meaning of literature is the reflection of society through written work of a particular culture or people. The aim of a few novelists is to represent the society as it is where as others aim at representing as it must be and a radical few bring in a touch of magical realism bringing in creativity into reality. Chetan Bhagat, the youth icon in the arena of Indian English literature, has carved a unique platitude among the book lovers, especially youth. His simple and eloquent language used for the articulation of current issues in the society attracted the readers and it makes him the favourite writer among the readers of the present era. He explores the social and political issues of the contemporary young generation who passes through various challenges in their life. His writings prove that the language can make the people arouse with humanity and to build stable human relationships irrespective of culture and ethos. Bhagat explores the possibility of fictional writings and non-fiction writings to enter into the minds of the readers to make them think about the social issues and their solutions.The present paper Is an attempt to study Chetan Bhagats novels from psychological perspective to understand a paradigm shift in the characters behaviour. Like in Chetan Bhagats novel One Indian Girl presents a females inner psyche -her desires and storm raging inside her mind and ready to erupt and explode at even the slightest prink. If we talk about his popular fiction Half Girlfriend which tells how the deficiency of a human relationship can be rectified and how the incomplete can be made complete. The half in the title shows incompleteness and at the end of the story, it becomes complete and contented. It also reveals the importance of language proficiency in the globalized society and how its impact can make changes in the human relationships. This paper analyses Bhagats novels and explores how the human relationship can make changes in the life of an individual and what strategies are used by the author to make the incomplete to complete in every human relationship. Keywords : paradigm shift, females inner psyche, prink, globalized society, chaos etc
