Rahel notices that ''at times like these, only the Small Things are ever said. Roy captures the children's candid observations but clouded understanding of adults' complex emotional lives. Beneath the drama of a family tragedy lies a background of local politics, social taboos and the tide of history-all of which come together in a slip of fate, after which a family is irreparably shattered.

In a circuitous and suspenseful narrative, Roy reveals the family tensions that led to the twins' behavior on the fateful night that Sophie drowned. Set in Kerala, India, during the late 1960s when Communism rattled the age-old caste system, the story begins with the funeral of young Sophie Mol, the cousin of the novel's protagonists, Rahel and her fraternal twin brother, Estha. The study shows how the author has skillfully used these strategies to unravel the indigenous cultural and social customs and mindset of the people within a particular indigenous community as well as the role-relationship between the interlocutors in a particular communicative context.With sensuous prose, a dreamlike style infused with breathtakingly beautiful images and keen insight into human nature, Roy's debut novel charts fresh territory in the genre of magical, prismatic literature. The text chosen for this purpose is Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things and the analysis is based on the grammatical and pragmatic explanation of indigenous words which mostly belong to the area of interpersonal communication. Keeping the above in mind, the present paper attempts to analyze the role of these strategies in indigenous interpersonal communicative contexts in Indian English fiction. However, a significant gap becomes noticeable and needs to be explored in Indian English fiction where creative writers have dexterously used these communicative strategies. While majority of the research was conducted in the spoken form from the real-life contexts, a few were directed towards the written forms in literary genres and computer-mediated communication.

These strategies have traversed from real life situations to creative writings to social networking domains and are dominant in bilingual or multilingual societies for multifarious reasons. Communicative strategies like code-switching and code-mixing have interested researchers the world over.
