2. Introduction
Desai’s work is known for its rich and colorful
language, and detailed presentations of
setting and character. Hullabaloo in the
Guava Orchard presents a fictitious small
town called Shahkot in North India. The town
has a mixed culture of traditional Indian social
norms and of modern life, wherein the
runaway Sampath Chawla, who just wants to
be left alone, is forced into being a holy man in
spite of himself.

3. O India is home to many religious groups, including
Hindus, Buddhists, and Muslims.
O It also has a history of political strife among
those groups, exacerbated by the interference of
British colonialism and modern globalization.
O Her work explores the toll that these culturaldivides
have taken on India’s population.

4. Protagonist: Sampath Chawla
O The son born to Kulfi and Mr. Chawla during the
monsoon is the main character. He is born with a
brown birthmark on his cheek and, because he came
with the rains, he is called Sampath—Good Fortune.
O He grows up a strange boy, imaginative, and
attracted, like his mother, to sensuous beauty. Also
like her, he seems to get lost in the objects of his
perception,
becoming one with them.
O Thus, at the wedding of his boss’s daughter, he
takes the colors and textures of the wedding clothes
into himself until he is drunk on the beauty and sings
naked in the fountain.

5. O He feels the tree in the orchard represents the first
time he has truly seen life as it is—he is at one with its
beauty. If he could only stay long enough, he could
melt into it.
O As the people converge on the orchard in a moment of
Maximum chaos, Sampath apparently disappears as
he holds a guava; like a Buddha, he is absorbed into
its life force. The fruit bears a mark exactly like
Sampath’s birthmark.
