                                                                        The seed of Indian Writing in English was
spread during the influence of the British rule in India. Now the seed has
bloomed into an every green tree, aromatic flowers and the fruits are ready for
use .The fruits are being tasted not only by the Indian people but they are
also being grained and digested by the foreigners .It happened only after the
unchanging attention, pruning and feeding. Grover`s like R.K.Narayan, Raja Rao,
Mulk Raj Anand and Harindranath Chattopadhyaya to name only a few, looked after
the sympathy plant night and day. In the contemporary time, it is grown by a
number of writers who are getting honors and fame for all over the world. Indian
English Literature is an effort of showcasing the rare gems of Indian Writing
in English. The genres of English Literature like poetry, drama, novel, prose
and     non-fiction represents the life style of the
native people. The bulk of Indian English Literature    is
formed in the name of novel. The first Indian novel in English was Raj Mohan`s wife published in the
Calcutta weekly in 1864 and it was written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee.

   
In the beginning of Indian English Literature begun the works of Michael
Madusudan Dutt followed by R.K.Narayan, Mulk Raj Anand, Raja Rao and they are
called the trilogy of Indian Writing in English Literature and they are contributed
to Indian fiction in the 1930`s.It is also joined with works of Indian Diaspora.
Rao has revealed the story line of the book with the chief social issues
represented in the fiction. Indian Writing has turned out to be a new form of
Indian tradition and voice India spoke regularly. These talented writers have
won national and international literary awards and also a Nobel price. The
earliest novels were written in Bengali as a Bengal was the first region to
come under the domineering rural influence of the British.

    Rabindranath Tagore wrote in Bengali and he
translated his work Gitanjali in1913
into English and it gains the Nobel Prize for Literature. Other major writers
who have born Indian or Indian origin and derive much inspiration for Indian
themes are R.K.Narayan, Ahmad Ali, Aamir Ali, K.A.Abbas, K.S.Venkataramani,
Bhabini Bhattacharya, Arun joshi, Balchandra Rajan, G.V.Desani, Rama Mahta and Vikram
Kapur. English language writers of Indian descent have been published in the
West at an astonishing rate. A special fiction issues of The New Yorker
Magazine devoted much space to essays by Arundathi Roy, and Salman Rushdie .The
earliest fictional efforts were story rather than novels properly appeared in
Journals .The Post independent India fiction hire the momentum the novel had
reached during the Gandhian  Era. Bhabini
Bhattacharya is the social realist of this period and he is strongly influenced
by Tagore and Gandhian fictional theory .Fiction in current era has become
introspective and individual quest for the meaning in people life has become a
major theme. In the same way talented writers are like Salman Rushdie and
Post-Rushian novelist like Amitav Ghosh, Vikram Seth, Vikram Chandra, Upmanya
catterjee. Indian historical novels are written before Post –Independence after
Post Independence .These novels are dealt in situation of freedom struggle and
revolution.

   After
1920 Indian English Literature was strongly influenced by the epoch making
political social and ideological excite caused by the Gandhian Movement. The
influence of Gandhism is proved strongly on Venkataramani`s novel. The new
Indian novel must be written in English the only language considered capable of
snatching modern substantial realities like Hindi, Tamil, Urdu and left need
not apply .The construction of Indian novel in English joined with a companion
piece of modernity and the region one of the most notable gifts of English
education to India is Prose, Poetry, fiction though India was probably the base
head of storytelling. The Indian English fictions from the beginning to 1930
explain the glorious of India`s past, superiority of Indian civilization in
relation to Europe. Writing in English has started in working magical realism,
bagginess, non –linear narrative. Vikram Seth is a writer who treats the purer
English and more realistic themes.

   The critical studies of their work were
guided to find out how far they had been successful in giving expression to the
reality around them. The writers settled in foreign countries and the one who
divide their time between India and abroad have contributed much to this rapidly
developing sub-genre of English Literature. Their fictional works become more
significant for developing expression to cross cultural encounter from a
different perspective. The works of Bharati Mukherjee , Jhumpa Lahiri ,Anita
Desai, Kiran Deasi, Kavita Dasvani and V.S. Naipaul to name a few arrange an
inside view of the problems faced by the people in their adopted homes in a
way  that questions the traditional

number of Indian novelists like Deepa Mehta, Sashi Deshpande, Aravind Adiga,

novels represented his fictitious town of Malgudi .But Chetan Bhagat`s novel
conveyed the easy going disturbance and 
various struggle for youth to lead a happy life in the society .Modern
Indian novelist are much interested in the presentation of modern man`s opinion
to the world .The modern man is situated by different problems. It is too
difficult for modern man to live in such rules and regulations.

considerable prolong a large number of contemporary novelists are concerned
with the questions of alienation, restlessness, disillusionment and grief
caused by conflicts. All this novelists are deeply occupied with modern man`s
struggle for survival in this world. Almost all the contemporary novelists are
preoccupied with the thought of identity. In the last ten years the novels like
