This study intends to focus on the tilting of Arun Joshi’s protagonists towards the past and his trying to explain the existential problems in the context of the Indian tradition of detachment and Karamyoga. Sindi Oberoi in The Foreigner, Billy Biswas in The Strange Case of Billy Biswas or Som Bhaskar in The Last Labyrinth, face an existentialist dilemma. According to R. S. Pathak, "Joshi's novels read like the spiritual odyssey of the twentieth century man who has lost his spiritual moorings" (109). This study aims at identifying the inner sources of Sindi’s life which sustain him in his worst crises and how he leans against his past, the sensibility of being an Indian which delivers him from the curses of modern living.

To all peoples who have come from immigrant parents and grandparents ….to all those interested in resilience and what inspires that resilience…to all children of immigrants who now wonder but never asked what their parents or grandparents life was really like…to all struggling peoples still on their migration path who could use, now and then, a little laughter laced with hope to ease the way… to all who find inspiration from the long suffering and patient men and women who somehow pushed through their moment in history and made it better…to all restless young adults and elder sages alike who honor those who have met violent oppression with courage, community building based on trustworthiness, skills and character…this story is meant for you. For all of us. We are all on this journey together with our “special lights” leading the way. Enjoy the ride!

Abstract: The delinquency of social minorities is frequently discussed, including the social minorities ’ victimization. The potential crime causes and the consequences for both the minority and majority provoke numerous researchers in various science fields.
