Abstract
Abstract Harappa: Curse of the Blood River is a modern-day thriller which is a fusion of mythological and historical fiction elements. This novel attracts readers, as this consist of an interesting plot, its title reflects the name of ancient culture Harappa, for which everyone wants to know more. This craze comes to a peak when it synchronizes a mythical tale, a tale of Devta, a tale of the curse which linked past and present culture together, and the tale of universal truth about human tendencies. All these factors lead to a new but old approach to literature. This paper is an effort to analysis this novel in the light of speech-act theory, especially to trace out perlocutionary effect. This novel is remarkable for its effects of language which swings its readers towards two different atmospheres, one is ancient and the other is modern. Beyond it, it dwells with suspense, thriller, sometimes light and sometimes heavy emotional juncture. Contradiction and controversial factors both are present here. All this helps readers to fly with the writer's imagination. And finally, make this work more interesting.
