One of the most significant achievements of modern Indian social milieu has been the recognition of the rights of those who had for centuries been cornered, and to which the rights of equality and dignified existence had been denied. The Time had almost stopped for such people for a long period as they haven’t any history of their
own. With the passage of time, things changed; the plight of the oppressed and underprivileged came under the scanner of the alert writer.
The paper aims at exhibiting the social consciousness and representation of the marginalized. The Immortals of Meluha, the debut wok of Tripathi, asserts the ways of justification to the people who have been sidelined since ages. The fiction inculcates social conciseness and encourages a novel sense of self esteem. It challenges prevalent system and promotes liberation, knowledge, emancipation, equal rights, justice and womanhood. It gives top priority to human values and self development. Through various sufferers in the novel like Sati, Vikarma people, Nagas and physically challenged people, Tripathi generates sympathy and compassion. Shiva, the protagonist, highlights the loopholes even in ‘the perfect’ culture of the Meluhans. He raises immortal war against discrimination, injustice and inequality which can show way to the wayward world.
