Indian English literature Indian English Literature (IEL) refers to the body of work by writers in India who write in the English language and whose native or co-native language could be one of the numerous languages of India. Its early history began with the works of Michael Madhusudan Dutt followed by R. K. Narayan, Mulk Raj Anand and Raja Rao who contributed to Indian fiction in the 1930s.[1] It is also associated with the works of members of the Indian diaspora, such as V. S. Naipaul, Kiran Desai, Jhumpa Lahiri, Kovid Gupta, Agha Shahid Ali, Rohinton Mistry and Salman Rushdie, who are of Indian descent.

Fiction Literary fiction often involves social commentary, political criticism, or reflection on the human condition.[17] In general it focuses on "introspective, in-depth character studies" of "interesting, complex and developed" characters.[17][18] This contrasts with genre fiction where plot is the central concern.[19] Usually in literary fiction the focus is on the "inner story" of the characters who drive the plot, with detailed motivations to elicit "emotional involvement" in the reader.[20][21] The style of literary fiction is often described as "elegantly written, lyrical, and ... layered".[22] The tone of literary fiction can be darker than genre fiction,[23] while the pacing of literary fiction may be slower than popular fiction.[23] As Terrence Rafferty notes, "literary fiction, by its nature, allows itself to dawdle, to linger on stray beauties even at the risk of losing its way".[24]
