Abstract

Indian English literature is essentially an honest attempt to unearth the priceless gems woven into the fabric of Indian writing in English. At first, it was a singular, astounding display of regional genius. However, since then, it has changed, becoming a vibrant representation of Indian culture and a voice in constant communication with India. Indian poets, novelists, essayists, and dramatists have made outstanding and essential contributions to international literature. From the moment India gained its freedom, this process has accelerated. Indian English writing has become a distinct literary genre of its own because of its tremendous success on the global literary scene in recent years. A vast range of subjects are explored in literature, reflecting Indian history, social values, tradition, and culture inside India and among Indians who now live abroad. English-language fiction by modern Indian writers, in particular, aims to convey the challenges of the Indian experience today. Prose fiction is “one of the most notable gifts of English education to India,” according to Professor M. K. Naik. This is because, even though India was undoubtedly the birthplace of storytelling, the modern novel was brought over from the West. Notably, Indian English books are well-liked by reviewers and pundits in England and the United States.
