Arundhati Roy's literary debut, The God of Small Things , revolutionized Indian literature by centering the experiences of subaltern characters, specifically Dalit and Adivasi communities. Her novel's success paved the way for a new wave of Indian writers exploring themes of social inequality, caste, and identity. Meanwhile, Isaimini, a prominent Tamil film producer, drew inspiration from Roy's works, integrating similar themes into her films.
