Volume : II, Issue : I, February - 2012 INDIAN ENGLISH FICTION – THE GANDHIAN PHASE John E. Joseph DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The Indian English novel did not attain any noteworthy merit or standard at its inception. It was after
1920 that Indian English fiction began to exhibit signs of fictional maturity and wisdom especially after the
arrival of the three “founding fathers” of this genre, Mulk Raj Anand, R.K. Narayan and Raja Rao. Since then
fiction writing in India has taken deep roots with numerous writers contributing to it in many and varied
ways. The thematic presentation became inimitable. The narrative technique and style had all the elements
that go into the making of great prose fiction. Thus Indian English novel was able to stand shoulder to
shoulder with any other global counterparts.
The present study is a modest attempt to find out what it was that enabled the Indian writers to present
novels with great literary quality, fictional maturity, vision and direction, and how and why it was possible for
them to do so. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : John E. Joseph, (2012). INDIAN ENGLISH FICTION – THE GANDHIAN PHASE. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. II, Issue. I, DOI : 10.9780/22307850, http://oldisrj.lbp.world/UploadedData/749.pdf References :
