The novels and short stories of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala stand in a unique relation to Indian literature in English. A girl born in Germany, brought up in England and married in India to a Parsi architect always remained an outsider and looked at Indian society from the same position. The Punjabi family of her husband’s business partner gave her the opportunity to look into Indian middle class which premised her fiction. She always utilized her vantage point of an outsider among India’s bourgeoisie to her advantage.
