It makes a spatial inventory of the real, imagined, and generic geographical places in Mumbai and non-Mumbai places. It looks at the use of multiple Indian and foreign languages. It also does a quantitative analysis of the mentions of Indian and foreign products mobilized in the creation of the fictional Mumbai. The research paper applies the theory of Geocriticism (2007) developed by Bertrand Westphal to the two selected texts in order to understand the process of Oscillation and the consequent production of the fictional discourse on Mumbai.

I have used Stuart Hall’s essay The Work of Representation as the theoretical framework for analysing the novel. I have analysed representation in the text by applying the semiotic approach to representation; by studying the contextual major political events, characters and spaces in the city as signs which are encoded by the author in the texts to construct the city of Mumbai which becomes the signifying field on which Emergency politics are played out in the novel.
