Reivew on Punam V. Barbde Research Paper on Arun Joshi’s “The Foreigner” Published in IJELLH Volume Ii Issue Viii December 2014
Punam V. Barbde is an Assistant Professor in Amravati. She chose to research on Arun Joshi’s novel, The Foreigner. I think she chose this topic for her research because it is a hot burning issue in our society where everybody is restless, impatient and agitative. People have become more and more materialist and selfish. This trauma, agony, pain and sufferings is explored in the novel, The Foreigner. In the modern life globalization and modernization, we people have become so self-centered, selfish and egoistic that the important ingredients of being a human-being is left far behind. Ingredients of sympathy, kindness, love, care, and sensitivity is becoming a rare-found species. Money, materialism and me dominates on human minds so much that there is chaos, confusion, and restlessness all over the place.
