Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children, Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things, Kiran Desai's The Inheritance of Loss and Aravind Adiga's The White Tiger have won the prestigious Man Booker Prize in the last three decades.

All these things provide epic dimension and broad field of study to the scholars. The present study, based more on texts and less on critical remarks, analyzes above-mentioned features of these novels in detail.
