The present study of Arun joshi's novels is a humble attempt to assign the novelist his due place among the Indian writers in English. For this a revaluation of his novels is necessary and efforts have been made to deal with all the major aspects of the novelist's achievements but the focus is centred on his interpretation of the clash of cultures, that is the spontaneous overflow of Joshi's psyche. Joshi has evolved a style and thematic approach with an understanding for the young people. On the whole the emphasis is on the clashes of cultures and the novelistic technique developed by him.
