Contemporary Indian English fiction reflects the changing socio-cultural realities of modern India through innovative language and stylistic experimentation. Among the prominent writers of Indian English literature, Amitav Ghosh and Aravind Adiga occupy a significant place for their powerful representation of society, class structures, identity crises, and postcolonial experiences. The present research paper explores the relationship between language, society, and style in the selected novels of Amitav Ghosh and Aravind Adiga. The study critically examines how both writers employ distinct stylistic techniques to portray social realities and cultural complexities in Indian society.

The paper analyzes narrative structure, diction, symbolism, imagery, satire, irony, multilingual expressions, and characterization in selected texts. Amitav Ghosh’s novels reflect historical consciousness, cultural hybridity, and intellectual narration, whereas Aravind Adiga’s fiction presents realism, satire, and sharp criticism of socio-economic inequalities. Through comparative stylistic analysis, the study reveals how language functions not only as a literary medium but also as an instrument of social commentary and ideological expression.
