This research paper entitled ‘Impact of Civil War in Shyam Selvadurai’s Funny Boy’ focuses on the after-effects of civil war and ethnic issues. The novel that was set in 1983 civil war hit Sri Lanka exposes how ethnic identity and culture has been institutionalized to stifle ordinary individuals. The writer Selvadurai himself was not an exception, because he was immigrated to Canada due to the terrible atrocities of the civil war. Through the young, egoistic protagonist’s point of view, it is made lucid that six different incidents symbolically suggest different individual’s traumatic experiences. Radhaaunty’s love affair with a Sinhalese boy came to a hault, Daryl uncle’s daring venture into Jaffna to investigate civil rights violation by the Lankan government ended in his death, Jegan, a boy from Jaffna has been ill-treated in Ceylon simply because he is an ethnic minority. Thus this paper vividly brings out the ethnic differences and lack of humanism prevalent in the civil war hit society.
Keywords: Multiculturalism, ethnic identity, bildungsroman, intrinsic worth, cultural differences, humanism etc.
