A Study of Globalization’s Impact in Aravind Adiga’s Last Man in Tower

Abstract

This study looks at how the different effects of globalization show up in Aravind Adiga’s novel Last Man in Tower. The story, which takes place in buildings that are changing quickly in Mumbai, is about the differences between old values and the new values that come from global capitalism. Adiga shows how urban redevelopment and economic change can cause people to suffer by telling the story of Yogesh Murthy, a former schoolteacher who is fighting against a developer's buyout. This study looks at how globalization makes it seem like everything is fine, but in reality, it breaks up groups, hurts the weakest, and makes people lose their morals. The researcher uses a postcolonial and socioeconomic lens to look at how Adiga rejects the unfair distribution of power and wealth in a world where money is becoming more important than people. Some of the moral and emotional issues that globalization brings to modern India are also shown in this select novel.
