Existentialism In The Writings Of Arun Joshi

Abstract

In his work, Arun Joshi explores a wide range of issues, including estrangement and inclusion, the meeting of cultures, the acceptance of difference, the pursuit of meaning, and the acceptance of complacency. He writes about lonely spiritual seekers and their anguish in his writings. They're a bunch of befuddled blokes who can't stop wondering where they came from and what their life's purpose is. After delving into Arun Joshi's The Foreigner, it becomes clear that crises and the search for meaning are the driving forces in his literature. In The Foreigner, the author describes Sindi Oberoi's suffering as a consequence of his loneliness and his supposed rootlessness as he moves from a state of disengagement to an active participation in the world. Despite the suffering he endures, Sindi finally gains a sense of his spirit being refreshed and cleansed as a result of his journey for enlightenment. The reason he was sent on Earth becomes clear to him. He understands the significance of the Gita's portrayal of the detachment principle, which teaches that the opposite of renunciation is unselfish activity.
