Abstract

Rohinton Mistry‟s third novel Family Matters, brings out the expostulations of the minority communities vis-a-vis „secular‟ multicultural image of the Indian polity. It also highlights the role of the Government agencies in the perpetration of atrocities against the innocent civilians of the minority communities and the struggle of the Parsi community in looking after its ageing patriarchy.
