Indian writers of English such as G. V. Desani, Salman Rushdie, Amit Chaudhuri, Amitav Ghosh, Vikram Seth, Allan Sealy, Shashi Tharoor, Arundhati Roy, Vikram Chandra and Jhumpa Lahiri have taken the potentialities of the novel form to new heights. Against the background of the genre’s macro-history, this study attempts to explain the stunning vitality, colourful diversity, and the outstanding but sometimes controversial success of postcolonial Indian novels in the light of ongoing debates in postcolonial studies. It analyses the warp and woof of the novelistic text through a cross-sectional scrutiny of the issues of democracy, the poetics of space, the times of empire, nation and globalization, self-writing in the auto/meta/docu-fictional modes, the musical, pictorial, cinematic and culinary intertextualities that run through this hyperpalimpsestic practice and the politics of gender, caste and language that gives it an inimitable stamp. This concise and readable survey gives us intimations of a truly world literature as imagined by Francophone writers because the postcolonial Indian novel is a concrete illustration of how “language liberated from its exclusive pact with the nation can enter into a dialogue with a vast polyphonic ensemble.”

The struggle for national identity and the lingering impact of colonial rule has profoundly shaped modern Indian Writing in English. The themes of postcolonialism and nationalism are deeply embedded in the narratives of Indian authors, reflecting the complex relationship between colonial history and the evolving sense of nationhood. This book, Writing the Nation: Postcolonial Memory and National Identity in Contemporary Indian Writing in English, aims to explore how contemporary Indian writers engage with these themes, offering critical insights into the socio-political and cultural transformations of post-independence India. Through a close analysis of selected literary works, this study examines how Indian authors reinterpret history, reclaim indigenous identities, and critique colonial legacies. The chosen texts reveal how writers confront the trauma of colonization, the partition of India, and the rise of nationalist movements, reflecting the multifaceted experiences of individuals and communities navigating a postcolonial world. This exploration extends to how authors challenge Western narratives, redefine cultural identities, and present nuanced perspectives on patriotism and resistance. Incorporating works by renowned writers such as Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Jhumpa Lahiri, H.M. Naqvi, and others, this book delves into the varied representations of colonial oppression, freedom struggles, and the complexities of national consciousness. Each chapter offers a critical lens on how these narratives contribute to the broader discourse of postcolonial studies and nationalism in Indian literature. This work is intended for students, scholars, and readers interested in understanding the intersections of literature, history, and identity in modern Indian Writing in English. It seeks to deepen the appreciation of how literature serves as a powerful medium for reflecting on the past while imagining the future of a nation. 1.

Within the social structure of India itself, there had been a typical man-woman relationship in terms of dependence and support. Woman was supposed to be the other, caught in the cage of native cultural ethos. But gradually, spread of education and economic independence certainly brought a change in woman s status in society; the Feminist movement also established her as an individual. Notwithstanding, she is still a victim of patriarchal rage, male domination, sexual harassment, colonial mindset of males and so on. She is not treated as a person but only as a possession. She is a victim not only of man s inhuman attitude but also of a system the Hindu Dharma which maintains that wife is her husband s property and has no individuality outside that system. In Indian English Writings, the woman sometimes maintains the image of a self-sacrificial woman, to whom her pati is her parameshwar but sometimes she emerges as a revolutionary, struggling for her rights and standing against the patriarchal set-up of the Indian society. The writers of new generation like Shashi Deshpande, Nayantara Sehgal, Anita Desai, Githa Hariharan, Manju Kapur and others have depicted females who are no longer silent sufferers but have learnt to give voice, either vocally or silently, to their unvoiced resentment . The present anthology consists of thirty-one critical papers on the literary works of the eminent fictionists and dramatists of India. The papers on Shashi Deshpande, Nayantara Sahgal, Anita Desai, Githa Hahiharan, Manju Kapur and others bring home the fact that the Indian women, despite all subjugation, know how to struggle for their existence. They are now capable enough to change their lives through self-analysis and self-understanding. The educated and emancipated women eventually succeed in finding out the ways of uncompromising survival . A bulk of papers on the established and emerging Indian dramatists like Vijay Tendulkar, Girish Karnad and Mahesh Dattani provide a comprehensive idea of the feminine sensibility of these icons of Indian theatre. The female protagonists of these renowned dramatists are no more caged birds. They have learnt how to break the shackles of tradition and fly like a bird in the open sky. No doubt, all these women characters, despite being images of tolerance and forbearance, are bold enough to carve a niche for themselves in this world of oppression. The articles on new authors like Nisha Da Cunha and Ambai describe inquisitiveness of ordinary women who want to connect themselves with the wider world to have purposeful existence. An article on Chetan Bhagat, a technocrat by profession, analyses new woman s struggle for survival in the technocratic world. The book will be highly useful to the teachers, students and research scholars of various universities who are working in the field of Indian Writings in English.
