Abstract

The Calcutta Chromosome expresses Amitav Ghosh’s peculiar themes and techniques albeit in a changed garb. It is an excellent work of science fiction that projects into the past. Although Ghosh won the Arthur C. Clarke award for science fiction for this novel, yet it is a merging of various genres like science fiction, history detective chases and even spirituality.
