This article presents a citizenship analysis of Roy’s novel The God of Small Things. Citizenship is defined in terms of identity, rights and duties of a citizen in any society, as defined by Cogan (1998) which is the theoretical framework used in this study. This study explores how postcolonial fiction can also be studied from citizenship perspective. Through the textual analysis of Arundhati Roy’s novel The God of Small Things, we present a citizenship perspective that lies within the text of the novel. We argue that the citizenship themes of identity, rights and duties are presentedthroughout the text. My findings suggest that various issues of gender, post-colonialism, social-caste and class can be discussed in the light of Cogan’s citizenship framework. The study has recommendations for future research, teachers and readers of fiction
