In this paper I am going to question the notions of authenticity in the works of foremost Indian diaspora writers, such as Rushdie's Midnight's Children, Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things, Amitav Ghosh's The Shadow Lines and others. with reference to Mikhail Bakhtin’s famous essay Epic and Novel, he discusses the novelists’ affiliation to the East or the West, in terms of their use of techniques revealing a more emotional stress, thereby conferring on the work a somewhat epic ring, and/or keeping a more detached tone which enables them to make use of irony.

Abstract
In this paper I am going to question the notions of authenticity in the works of foremost Indian diaspora writers, such as Rushdie's Midnight's Children, Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things, Amitav Ghosh's The Shadow Lines and others. with reference to Mikhail Bakhtin’s famous essay Epic and Novel, he discusses the novelists’ affiliation to the East or the West, in terms of their use of techniques revealing a more emotional stress, thereby conferring on the work a somewhat epic ring, and/or keeping a more detached tone which enables them to make use of irony.
