ESSENCE OF ETHICS AND ETHOS IN THE SELECT WORKS OF RUSKIN BOND AND SUDHA MURTHY

Abstract

The reflection of ethos and ethics in literature offers readers a profound understanding of human values, cultural norms, and moral choices. This paper explores how Ruskin Bond and Sudha Murthy, two stalwarts of Indian-English literature, weave ethos and ethical considerations into their narratives. Through selected works, it examines how both authors project moral sensibilities, promote cultural identity, and instill humane values, making their stories timeless and relevant across generations.
