Abstract	This research paper delves into the period between the assassination of Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi and his elder son, Rajiv Gandhi and the theme of quest discussed in the famous novel of Indian novelist Arvind Adiga. The novel clearly suggests the mindlessness of corruption and poverty in Indian society. This study explores how the ideologies nurtured by Indian culture seem meaningless because the people refuse to accept the importance of tolerance, honesty and brotherhood. Moreover, this paper introduces repeated bizarre events that have become an intrinsic part of Indian society in the present scenario. This discusses two short stories “The Bunder” and “Lighthouse Hill” in which through the protagonist of different short stories narrated in the selected novel and their painful recollection, a reader gets a picture of the Indian society even in the present scenario.
