| Abstract: | The paper is an attempt by the researchers to analyze Amish Tripathi's book, The Immortals of Meluha, utilizing a Foucauldian framework of sociological critique. In the article, we debate the notion of distinguishing normal and abnormal, the social construction of ideology, and the victimization of persons with deformities and handicaps. We consider the novels as the author's attempt to satirize society for its victimization of Dalits, individuals with physical deformities, and widows. As a result, we talk about the ideological construct and how the exercise of power might alter it. Here, the "truth" becomes the puppet of the authorities. The truth also alters as the balance of power shifts because with the new power, ugliness is celebrated, but in the previous power, the deformity was a curse. In the end, we contend that xenophobia is the only reason why the people of Meluha despise the deformed and that deformed bodies are nothing more than posthuman alterity. Overall, the present paper is a critical study of disability with a critical Foucauldian framework. |
