Vikram Seth: In the Midst of Greater Development of Indian Writing in English

The article focuses on theme of love in Vikram Seth’s Novels, A Suitable Boy and An Equal Music. Vikram Seth is among the cream of the crop of bold new writers. His impingement upon the scene of Indian English Literature in the eighties was in consonance with the larger development of Indian English Literature at that time.

First of all, Indian English Literature acquired much greater credibility on the one hand and a much larger public reception. Secondly, it came to be reckoned as an important part of Indian Literature as a whole, which was not the case before when Indian English Literature was largely viewed as something away from the mainstream of Indian Literature.

Change in Perspective

Seth benefited from this change in perspective. His novels and poetry grew from a mind integrated with Indian conditions of living. And yet it felt equally comfortable with conditions abroad. One remembers his admission that whenever he writes about anything, at whatever the place may be, he gets immersed in the place and situation and remains completely confined to the conditions, both physical and mental, available there. This is particularly true of his novels.
