Abstract

The importance of the proposed title is well known in day to day communication of ideas. We use Indian words today while speaking English. The Indian English Literature is a contest over the nature, identity and ultimately the destiny of modern India. It needs to be mentioned that there has been a movement to take Indian Writing across the globe. This natural phenomenon has caught the attention of foreign listeners and writers also. Fictional writings even representations of nature and characters in its best form by writers like Toru Dutta, Sri Aurobindo, Sarojini Naidu, Nissim Ezekiel, A.K.Ramanujan, Kamala Das, Dilip Chitre, Amitav Ghosh, Vikram Seth, Salman Rushdie, Arundhati Roy, Jhupa Lahiri have taken Indian writing and writers to great height. These are efforts of several generations of Indian authors that have resulted in international success, particularly since the publication of Midnight’s children by Salman Rushdie. The Indian writers have finally been accepted as an important literary endeavour. Many Indian writers have composed novels, poetry, short stories in Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali, Assamese, Urdu, Tamil, Malayalam, Marathi, Kannada etc. In fact they are the chief upholders of a rich oral tradition of storytelling; through myths, legends, songs and fables. They have introduced folk elements in Indian English to the West. Such writers have contributed much to the making of Indian English by using words of Indian regional languages. Thus they have given a new dimension to the making of the Indian English.
