Overview

This anthology challenges the colonial notion of Indian literature as a collection of exotica as well as the terrible misconception that modern Indian writing is an inferior mimicry of Western forms. What we have here is a literary record that stands out for the originality of the voices it contains and yet underscores a set of shared themes and artistic concerns that galvanized these writers and brought them together.
