Abstract- A suitable boy by Vikram Seth is the story of four families in India in the early 1950s after the British occupation has ended and the India/Pakistan partition has taken place. Though not an epic novel in the usual sense of the world, A Suitable Boy is certainly epic in scale, over 1400 pages in length. It is, in fact, the idea of arranged marriage that is implied in the title. A great deal of effort is put forth on the part of a family to find a ‘suitable boy’ for their unmarried daughters. As Indian girls gain more independence like going out shopping in small groups of friends and attending university classes, there arises a conflict between many girls and their families over the idea of an arranged marriage.
