This research paper examines Indian Postcolonial history of India and how its politicians are represented through myth in Shashi Tharoor’s The Great Indian Novel (1989). Tharoor frames the progress of political events during colonial period and postcolonial period of India. His narrative represents the characters as the figures of The Mahabharat and the incidents of the Mythology take new forms in the contemporary politics of India. Tharoor has so dexterously knitted together the incidents and characters of the novel with that of the mythical characters of The Mahabharata.

Mythology, Tropes, Battle, Politics, History, Retelling, Discrimination. The Mahabharata, British Raj.
