Beyond the Classroom: The Disillusionment of Educated Youth in Chetan Bhagats The Girl in Room 105
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article focuses on disillusionment among educated youths in Chetan Bhagat’s The Girl in Room 105. Beyond the genre of a crime thriller, the novel explores the disappointment of Indian youths particularly those who have high academic qualifications but low emotional and professional compassion. The novel analyses the difference between the idealized promise of educated youths and the real- world satisfied Indians who remain entrenched in systemic barriers, cultural complexities, and existential crises. This paper examines how the writer portrays the disillusionment of educated youth, showing that real learning often happens beyond the classroom personally and professionally.
