Sk. Shakila Bhanu, M.A.
Dr. Y. Suneetha

Abstract

Indian Writing in English (IWE) finds its roots in early British colonies in India, that is in early 18th century. And, since then many creative hands carved IWE and transported it to present stature. Undoubtedly, English easily made its way into Indian lives and became more than any other language in India. The present paper discusses the Indian Writing in English since its inception to post-colonial period in India. And it also focuses on many authors’ and poets’ perceptions and themes that are seasoned along with Indian history.

Keywords: Indian Writing in English, Prominent authors in Indian Writing in English

Introduction

The impact left by British culture and predominantly language was and is very significant in Indian history. For initiation of any language, the foundation must be strong. In other words to be developed, any language required the people who understand and enjoy all forms of it. Thomas Babington Macaulay introduced English Education in India to get some Indians trained for clerical office. Indian elite who got education in English, started reading and writing in English to extend their scope of experience. One hundred and ninety years of colonial rule and amalgamation of Indian and Western cultures resulted in Indian Writing in English in India. English language had become the focus of many Indian authors, who intended to reach most and it took many transformations in all genres of literature.
