History of Indian Writing in English

Indian Writing in English is basically started during the British rule in India .Indian writing in English began with the emergence of East India Company in India. As East India Company spread its wing through southern peninsula, English language started to get newer pockets of influence. But it was still time for the first English book to capitalize. Late 17th century saw the coming of printing press in India but the publication were largely confined to either printing Bible or government decrees. Then came newspapers. It was in 1779 that the first English Newspaper named Hickey’s Bengal Gazette was published in India. The breakthrough in Indian English literature came in 1793 A.D. when a person by the name of Sake Dean Mahomet published a book in London titled Travels of Dean Mahomet. This was essentially Mahomet’s travel narrative that can be put somewhere between a Non-Fiction and a Travelogue.  It is relatively not so old, as it is one and half centuries old.

Early Indian writers used English unmixed by Indian words to demise an expression which was basically Indian. Apart from the freedom struggle that awakened many of the Indians who fought for the freedom, the writers at that time were able to transmit their point of view, which ultimately helped to motivate and guide the crowds. The happiness of accomplishing the magnificent victory against the British rulers was suddenly spoiled by the shocking and traumatic partition of 1947. The horrors, tragic consequences and partition like the large scale migration, adventurous looting and merciless massacres were portrayed by the writers in their works which captured the interest, and imagination of the reader, the Indian English novels began to prove its mark towards the global dignified storyline. English novels began to prove its mark towards the global dignified storyline.

The first connection that we should be looking at is the introduction of the English language as a medium of instruction in India and the introduction of English literature as a subject in the Universities. Earlier Indians have to meet two preconditions before writing a poetry in English. First, the English language had to be sufficiently Indianized to be able to express the reality of the Indian condition. Secondly, Indians had to be sufficiently Anglicized to use the English language to express themselves. English was, as a result, introduced in educational institutions, Courts and offices thus displacing the traditional use of Arabic and Sanskrit as a mode of communication and documentation. In 1835 Lord William Bentinck announced that the government would “favour English Language alone” therefore would move towards “a knowledge of English literature and Science through the medium of English language alone.”

The period between 1850 and 1900 is the mimetic phase when the Indian poets were romantic poets in the Indian garb or in George Bottomley’s words “Matthew Arnold in a saree” or as some slanderingly observes “Shakuntala in a mini-skirt”. The period from 1900 to 1947 is the absorbtive period when the Indian poets still romantic tried to absorb the romanticism of the early nineteenth century. British poets and the “new” romantics of the decadent period for expressing the consciousness of the Indian renaissance between nationalism and political changes which ultimately led to the achievement of political freedom in 1947.

The second generation poets were, still romantic in spirit were Sarojini Naidu, Tagore, Aurobindo Ghose and Harindranth Chattopadhyaya. The poetic output of these poets was fecund in nature. Romanticism of these Indian poets was distressed  with nationalism, spirituality and mysticism. It was therefore different from English romanticism,  Indian romanticism widened the poet’s vision. While Aurbindo’s was the search for the Divine in Man and Tagore’s was the hunt for the Beautiful in Man and Nature. Both were philosophic poets. Sarojini Naidu’s romantic impulse highlighted the beauty and richness of traditional Indian life and culture.

The beginning of the 20th century saw a gradual growth of the novel form in English in India. Romesh Chandra Dutt was an important figure writing at that time. However one name that stands apart from this body is that of Rabindranath Tagore. It would be inapt to appropriate him as a writer of English because he wrote with equal felicity and grace in Bengali. As a matter of fact he was not known as a writer alone but as an equally accomplished poet, playwright and painter.

It was in late seventies that a new breed of Convent, boarding school educated and elite class of novelists and writers started to work on English literature. The likes of Salman Rushdie, Vikram Seth, Amitabh Ghosh and Dominique Lepierre  set the literature world on fire. Rushdie’s Midnight Children won Booker in 1981 and send the message loud and clear that Indians are here to stay. Arundhati Roy and Kiran Desai repeated the feat when they won Man Booker in the year 1997 and 2006 respectively. In the mean time, a new crop of authors such as Pankaj Misra, Chetan Bhagat, Jhumpa Lahiri, William Dalrymple, Hari Kunzuru have arrived on the international scene and their writings are being appreciated round the globe. A special mention to Jhumpa Lahiri and her work; the inspiration of her work stems from the emotional crisis generated from cultural Diaspora and identity crisis that Indians suffer from when they live outside the boundaries of their own culture and geographical setting.

The history of Indian Writing in English began with the  The Indian Writing in English can be compared to an old stinging root which has regrowned  its branches in the modern generation. The new saplings are thriving with green leaves and twigs to be enjoyed by all not only in the Indian landmass , but across the globe as well.

    Many English newspapers like The Bengal Gazette, The Bombay Herald, The Madras Courier came to gratify the needs of the infuriated youth during the freedom struggle. These English newspapers linked the entire nation with a common feeling of national spirit and by English education in India was initiated with the sole purpose of modifying British interests to inspire Indians with the western thoughts which sooner or later were meant to fortify foreign supremacy. Lord Maculay, British historian and politician strongly believed in anglicizing the education system in India. Macaulay’s Minute on Indian Education published in 1835 is considered as an important account in this regard.  His ideas were based on an assumption of the intrinsic authority of British ethnicity, a vital remark which is documented in Macaulay’s Minute: bonded them together with a common agenda of nation’s freedom.

     Role of Woman Authors in English Literature

    Women novelists have played a crucial and momentous role in enhancing the quality and quantity of the Indian English Fiction. They have further added the woman’s perspective and feministic dimensions to the novels. These rich contributions have widened the spectrum of issues intended in the novel. Earlier because of some patriarchal assumptions Indian women authors has always been underrated. Indian societies gave more priorities to male authors. In those days, women used to write about a women’s perception and experiences within the domestic sphere. As male authors are used to deal with heavy subjects, that their work would get more priority and acceptance in the society. These assumptions led to the declaration of women writing in eighteenth century. In the nineteenth century, more and more women actively participated in India’s revolutionary movement against the British rule. It again led to the women’s literature. At that time, their write – ups mainly concentrated on the country’s freedom struggle. Over the years, the world of feminist ideologies began to influence the English literature of India.

    The contributions by women writers cannot go unnoticed. In fact the works by women writers constitute a major segment of the contemporary Indian writing in English. Today women are seen establishing their identity in almost all walks of life and they have heralded a new consciousness in the realm of literature too.
