Abstract:

An ordinary person has experienced alienation. People who have left society and the young generation have lost their values might cause estrangement. It might be characterized as the separation of one group from society.  Karl Marx employed alienation in sociology.  Alienation is now a common phrase, especially in the media.  We may hear that those organizations or young people are alienated from society or conventional ideals. Such use of the concept gives the sense of a group being isolated from society, but sociology has long used it.  Historical and sociocultural factors also influenced Indo-English literature.   Many Indo-English books focus on alienation.  Early Indo-English novelists understood the alienation challenge.  Their works show interest in the ever-changing national landscape and concern for the country's future.  Their solitude was never as great as that of subsequent novels, even after they felt finished.  The early Indo-English novelists felt lonely for socio-political reasons.  While defining alienated people, they seemed to be showing the risks of two cultures meeting in one person and isolating him.
