Abstract
Ghosh is a novelist given to generic inventiveness and champion of post-modern cultural weightlessness, but his writing is as interested in the ties that bind as in the transitory nature of global culture. "The Shadow Lines" is a highly innovative, complex and celebrated novel by Amitav Ghosh. The novel has become the leading hero in the literary development of our time precisely because it best of all reflects the tendencies of a new world still in the making. It moves through an intricate weaving backwards and forwards in time. It quickens our conscience and triggers our response to the mingled frenzy of violence, idealism, passion and intrigue that has amputated the narrator's intimate history and geography. This search for invisible links ranging across the realities of nationality, the cultural segregation and racial discrimination is the central theme of "The Shadow Lines". It gains stature by placing the individual themes starkly in a contemporary context. The shadow lines divide and link peoples and nations.
