This blog is my part of classroom activity on One night @ call center by Chetan Bhagat.
Anti-American
Anti- American sentiments are very strong in this novel and
America is quite represented here . In this novel Chetan Bhagat
criticized that American dream is just like myth. they are not happiest
people and we can see this kind of thing with character of Vroom who
is criticizes American policy. There are some textual dialogue which
make this book anti American:
Vroom: “Our government doesn’t realize this, but Americans
are using us. We are sacrificing an entire generation to service their
call centers”
God: “Americans may have many things, but they are not the
happiest people on earth by any stretch. Any country obsessed with war
can’t be happy”.
Vroom: “Meanwhile bad bosses and stupid Americans suck the life blood out of our country’s most productive generation”
Social realism
We know that Chetan Bhagat is a popular writer of
contemporary. And write about problem of youth not only talks about
youth but within his the novel social realism also. In this novel One
Night @ the call center we can find that Each character has individual
potential . For example Bakshi represents corruption in corporate world.
Radhika is also not happy with her marriage life because of her husband
and mother in law . Vroom is talented young man but he was not happy
with her marriage life because of her husband and mother in law . Vroom
is talented young man but he was not happy with his job and also
criticized the idea of call centers .
Globalization
This Novel is based on the theme of globalization. Vroom
and Shyam designs webs and Military uncle is connected with his son and
grandson .
Cyberpunk
This novel can be categorized as cyberpunk because of we
can find some technological elements in This novel like mail, F.M., Bug,
etc. In this novel we see that Vroom hacks Bakshi's email and writes
email to Esah on his behalf and blackmail Bakshi and exhorted money from
him to start new company with Shyam. So we can say that one night @
the call center is a cyberpunk novel.
Thank you...
