This research paper: A 4 page essay that examines Anita Desai's novel In Custody. The writer argues that the author addresses the construction of Indian nationality and how this perception is influenced by the past while affecting the present. In so doing, Desai addresses literary and academic illusions. Desai's protagonist, Deven, is a professor of Hindi, who idealizes the Indian past. He projects his idealized version of what India once was onto the person of a renowned poet, whom he does not live up to his expectations. Desai shows how Desai's projections and the failure of these projections provide a scathing critique of patriarchal Indian society. No additional sources cited.
