Parenthood has been one of the most concerned areas of research for every decade. It is the practice of taking good care of one’s offspring to make sure on their part that they grow up in a safe, sound, healthy and happy environment. Children are the future capita of the nation they belong to. In this fast growing global modern world where human relationships are getting complicated day by day, we need to focus and understand parent-children relationship in its every fold. Parents are the first with whom a child establishes his or her relationship after its entry to this mortal world. This relationship stays for the lifetime. The God of Small Things is the only novel by Arundhati Roy with multidimensional interpretations at various levels. In this paper my endeavour is to study parenthood through the characters of this novel belonging to three consequent generations.
