The paper titled 'Echoes of Alienation and Politics of Communal Segregation as Reflected in Geetanjali Shree's Imagination', seeks to explore the thought process of Geetanjali Shree in the context of India in all its shades. It also examines that Geetanjali Shree has been making judgements on India of yore and the contemporary India which is a bundle of contradictions when seen against the backdrop of history. The two novels Mai and Hamara Shahar Us Baras represents two different shades of thoughts about the evolving nature of a country where everything is determined by politics. So, in a way the paper analyses the socio-political pros and cons and its changing face. The two novels portray different conditions about a country which has been very inconsistent in terms of its response to how the country has conducted itself politically. One of the concerns is to examine how Geetanjali Shree manifested the very pursuit of identity and the rise of certain tendencies which reflect the dynamics of a changing society.
