ABSTRACT

The paper focuses on the changing trends in Indian writing in English with special reference to modern writers. During the seventy years of its effective history Indian writing in English crossed many milestones and has come to be finally accepted as a major literature of the world. However, a study of the popular English fiction in India is a study of the expectations and trends of the masses at present which has again follow western and more specifically global issues relevant in personified drama. The local and international events leave a trace in an average Indian's lifestyle which in turn will be reflected in tastes. The paper explores new identities that Indian English writers lost sometime and tries to bring the elegance and grandeur of Indian English.Anything that is short and interesting has become a fashion for today’s generation. No doubt the emerging trends have minimized the time, but these trends have crippled the art of reading and writing. Dalit literature, Biographical literature, Diaspora literature have become the subjects of interest in the recent trends in literature. We have writers who are writing, translating and creating into English. Creativity, translation, Dalit Literature, Diasporic writing, postcolonial, postmodern and feministic writings is growing swiftly in Indian English. During the post-independence period Indian English Literature has undergone many changes in the field of poetry, drama and fiction
