Exploring the Evolution and Impact of English Language Literature by Indian Authors
Description
The depiction of post-colonial India and its efforts to decolonize the mind is a common theme among Indian authors who write in English. The objective of Indian English literature is to present the noteworthy pieces of Indian English writing that are progressively challenging to locate. A distinct form of expression has emerged in India known as Indian English, which reflects a unique cultural identity and is not limited to a local phenomenon. The realm of global literature has been enriched by Indian writers, spanning various genres such as poetry, novels, essays, and dramas, even before the country's independence. However, the contemporary era has witnessed a surge in the popularity and financial viability of Indian English writing. English-writing Indian authors are gaining special recognition for their literary works, also achieving high sales figures. The number of skilled Indian writers has notably increased. It comprises individuals like Khushwant Singh, Mulk Raj Anand, V.S. Naipaul, R. K. Narayan, Bharati Mukherjee, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Kiran Desai, Shashi Deshpande, Indira Goswami, Anita Desai, Sarojini Naidu, Toru Dutt, Salman Rushdie, Amitav Ghosh, Nayantara Sahgal, Jhumpa Lahiri, Arundhati Roy, and Vikram Chandra.
