The Ministry of Utmost Happiness is the second novel by Arundhati Roy, published in 2017, two decades after her Booker Prize-winning debut, The God of Small Things. The novel weaves together multiple narratives, exploring themes of identity, political turmoil, and resilience in modern India.
The story follows Anjum, a hijra (intersex woman), who leaves her home in Old Delhi to establish a sanctuary in a graveyard. Alongside her, the novel introduces a diverse cast of characters, including a rebellious architect, a baby mysteriously abandoned on a pavement, and individuals navigating the complexities of Kashmir and Central India.
Roys writing is deeply poetic and politically charged, offering a panoramic view of India's social and historical struggles.
