- Abstract
Our culture, our tradition and our language are the foundations upon which we build our identity. The paper concentrates on the study of "Cultural Identity amidst Modernity in Rama Mehta's Inside the Haveli". Rama Mehta's Sahitya Academy award winning novel Inside the Haveli is a hall mark piece of the saying that literature is a mirror of the society and that the artists are the shaping spirits. The novel produces a pen picture of the haveli in Rajasthan. It also serves as a seminal proof for the life style of the womenfolk. The novelist, herself, being Rajasthani woman, stands witness to the lives and experience of the characters in the novel. The main objective is to throw light on the inner struggle of the optimistic life style of the major characters. The discussions contribute to the enlightening of the didactic elements in the novel. The persuasive style of the novel puts forth love as the basic force and common cause to construct a world community of compromise.
