ABOUT THIS BOOK

Though English language is foreign in its origin, a number of Indian writers writing in English have gained international recognition. Their charming and graceful diction, their innate sentiments, their minute observations of men and nature, their exquisite sense of beauty, their masterly use of metaphors, and their fascinating expressions have carved for them a permanent niche in the facade of the world literature. From Toru Dutt to Sarojini Naidu, Mulk Raj Anand to R.K. Narayan and Khushwant Singh to Salman Rushdie besides many others, this a an informative book on the trends of English writing in India.
