ABSTRACT

This paper draws in the exchange among sexuality and sex in the novel, “Funny Boy”. The creator allows re-analyzing the country, outside a man driven hetero-regulating perspective and seeing a form of weird South Asian Nationalism. Arjun Chelvaratnam's (Arjie's) unusual body and intercourse play inside the novel separates the suitable individual characterizations constrained upon the occupant through the country states. The country in this manner will turn into a site of disquiet and change for the nonconformist sexual subject. Interesting Boy is comprised of six discrete scenes following the puberty of an upper working tastefulness Sri Lankan in Colombo contrary to the legacy of the ethno-social conflicts between the Dravidian Tamil's and Aryan Sinhalese.

Key words: Culture, Ethno-social clashes, Radical, sexual orientalism, Sinhalese.
