This research critically examines the dynamics of the microcosm and macrocosm in the context of Marxist ideologies in the novels of Arundhati Roy and Aravind Adiga within the contemporary neoliberal landscape. Focused on Roy's 'The God of Small Things' and 'The Ministry of Utmost Happiness,' and Adiga's 'The White Tiger' and 'Amnesty,' the study navigates the distinctive ideological currents present in the works of these two acclaimed authors. Arundhati Roy, self-identifying with Marxism, is scrutinized through the lens of her novels, revealing a discernible engagement with New Left or Postmodernist thought. The analysis encompasses narrative techniques, character constructions, and thematic preoccupations, illuminating how Roy's literary expressions transcend conventional Marxist discourse in these specific works. In contrast, Aravind Adiga, despite sidestepping explicit Marxist labels, subtly integrates Marxist principles such as dialectical materialism and centralized political economy into 'The White Tiger' and 'Amnesty.' The study delves into how Adiga's narratives resurrect Marxist ideologies within the neoliberal landscape, exploring interactions between characters and the socioeconomic structures they navigate. The implicit presence of Marxist thought in Adiga's works challenges conventional categorizations, positioning him as a covert advocate of Marxist ideas. This comparative analysis of two novels from each author unveils subtle nuances in their ideological affiliations. Additionally, the research delves into the association of macrocosm with Marxism and microcosm with Postmodernism. Macrocosmic elements within the selected novels align with Marxist tenets, advocating structuralism and collective action. On the contrary, microcosmic facets resonate with Postmodernist philosophy, embracing decentralized social orders and identity politics. This study contributes to a comprehensive exploration of how literature serves as a dynamic space for the reinterpretation and negotiation of Marxist tenets in response to the challenges posed by the neoliberal paradigm. The exploration of microcosmic and macrocosmic dimensions within these specific novels enhances our understanding of the authors' distinct literary voices. It sheds light on how literature, as a reflection of societal shifts, negotiates and navigates ideological landscapes. By examining the evolving relationship between literature, ideology, and socio-political realities, this research offers valuable insights into the nuanced ways in which contemporary authors respond to and reinterpret established ideologies in the face of evolving societal challenges.
