dc.description.abstract In this paper titled “The Ramifications of Insurgencies on Family Lives—A Reading of Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Lowland”, this researcher has attempted to analyze the novel’s fictional characters from Marx’s views on “capitalism”; Beauvoir’s analyses on men’s domineering relationship on women: their struggles in society; Said’s concept on “Intellectual Exile”; Gramsci’s note on “Hegemony”; Althusser’s discussion on “Ideology”; Heng’s argument on “Third-World Feminism” and Chomsky’s View on “Anarchy”. In light of these theoretical frameworks, the researcher has tried to prove how insurgents or separatists’ groups, buoyed by their revolutionary zeal, get involved in nefarious activities; for which, many of them like Udayan as depicted in The Lowland, face execution at the hands of law-enforcing agencies. Udayan’s death crumbles his family members. This paper aims to show the ramifications of insurgencies on Gauri’s life, Subhas’ life and Bela’s life. en_US
