Indian English Literature

The term Indian English literature or Indo-English literature, connotes literature written in English by Indian authors. It remarkably differs from Anglo Indian literature which was created by Englishman in India.

Indian English Literature is the outcome of the cross fertilization of two fruitful cultures - Indian and English. It is literature created by Indians both before and after Independence. All Indian writers who wrote in English since the days of Raja Ram Mohan Roy till the present day belong to Indian English Literature. It spontaneously and powerfully expresses varying shades of emotions, thoughts and feelings typical to the genius and character of India.

Indian English Literature is "a curious native eruption, an expression of the practical no less than creative genius of the Indian people. Indians have written - and are writing in English for communicating with one another and with the outside world , for achieving self-expression too artistically, using English, if necessary, in an Indian way." English, which has been domesticated and navitized in India, has been one of our own  languages like Kannada, Punjabi, Marathi, Bengali etc. Hence, literature written in Indianized or navitized English is Indian Enhlis Literature.

Indian English Literature is a well established literary discipline which has an international reading public.
