A Separate Realization and Independence: A Study of Individualism in Chetan Bhagat’s Works
Abstract
Individualism is a philosophical and social reality that improves the value of the individual over the group or culture, presenting for personality, self-reality, and freedom of an individual. This doctrine promotes the pursuit of individual goals, desires and self- satisfaction, often revealing the individuals central to moral, political and social discussions. While individualism is a real factor contrasted with collectivism and totalitarianism, it has been linked with both positive and negative factors throughout history. Critics have associated it to self-absorption and selfishness, while argue that it accelerates creativity, personal development and democratic values.
