This paper focusses attention on the strange nonchaotic attractors (SNA) of a quasiperiodically forced dynamical system. Several routes, including the standard ones by which the appearance of strange nonchaotic attractors takes place, are shown to be realizable in the same model over a two parameters ($f-\epsilon$) domain of the system. In particular, the transition through torus doubling to chaos via SNA, torus breaking to chaos via SNA and period doubling bifurcations of fractal torus are demonstrated with the aid of the two parameter ($f-\epsilon$) phase diagram. More interestingly, in order to approach the strange nonchaotic attractor, the existence of several new bifurcations on the torus corresponding to the novel phenomenon of torus bubbling are described. Particularly, we point out the new routes to chaos, namely, (1) two frequency quasiperiodicity $\to$ torus doubling $\to$ torus merging followed by the gradual fractalization of torus to chaos, (2) two frequency quasiperiodicity $\to$ torus doubling $\to$ wrinkling $\to$ SNA $\to$ chaos $\to$ SNA $\to$ wrinkling $\to$ inverse torus doubling $\to$ torus $\to$ torus bubbles followed by the onset of torus breaking to chaos via SNA or followed by the onset of torus doubling route to chaos via SNA. The existence of the strange nonchaotic attractor is confirmed by calculating several characterizing quantities such as Lyapunov exponents, winding numbers, power spectral measures and dimensions. The mechanism behind the various bifurcations are also briefly discussed.
