The novelist Arundhati Roy, as a novelist, also engages herself in the politics and environmental causes in post-colonial world, and her novel The God of Small Things is widely acclaimed. Beginning with the character Baby Kochamma’s garden, this paper discusses the dynamics between nature and modern technology, which is associated with the new form of intrusion after a British colonization of India. The silent representation of animals is also analyzed. Essentially, this paper continues to reveal language strategies in writing back to the British Empire by employing language features with the aid of computer software AntConc, R, and DocuScope. Words frequency, collocations, and keywords, clusters are the focus of the study. Language variance, glossing, code-switching, vernacular transcription, and neologisms will be noted accordingly. These language features play a role of force and power in combating the British by using the local Indian English in writing style. This paper hopes to offer new insight into how Roy successfully and tactically mobilizes her words, which build up her beautiful yet powerful story and render the periphery central in the sense of colony regime and colonized state.
