The novels of Joshi are branded as the theme dealing with fretfulness, alienation and the existential predicament of contemporary man. The central characters of Joshi’s novels are mentally disturbed and filled with despair, self-hatred and self-pity and regard themselves as strangers in this lonely planet. The concept of alienation is not quite new in the modern world it has been in use in the theological, philosophical, sociological and psychological writings for an extensive while.
