Abstract

In this research, the dynamic landscape of the Indian English language is explored via the assessment of contemporary novels. The investigation also charts the direction that the language has taken in recent years.

The purpose of this research is to detangle the intricate web of storytelling that exists within the modern Indian milieu by examining the underlying reasons and intentions of these literary works. This inquiry tries to give insights into the emerging forms of Indian English prose by way of an exhaustive analysis of a few selected works. The goal of this investigation is to shed light on the complex relationships between tradition and innovation, cultural identity, and the global influences that influence the narrative. By offering a lens through which to examine the wide variety of voices and points of view that can be found in contemporary Indian novels written in English, the findings of the research broaden our understanding of the evolution of Indian literature throughout recent history.
