contents <p>The Strange Case of Billy Biswas is one of the remarkable novels of Arun Joshi which talks about the importance of returning to nature. Billy Biswas is the protagonist of the novel,he is really strange because he does not fit into the accepted norm of the 'civilized' society. Billy finds himself motivated enough to rebel and break its shackles to join a world that is far removed from the everyday reality of his former world. Joshi's novel argues the torments of life of Billy Biswas, the protagonist. His shift from the civilized life to the tribal life of savage marks the strong desire and attraction to the world of tribal culture and beauty. To Billy, it is not an escape from the realities of life but an escape into real life from the meaningless existence in the so-called civilized world. Hence it is a metaphoric novel which depicts so called civilized world with its hollowness against uncivilized tribal world with its simplicity.</p>
