Evolution Of Narrative Techniques In Indian English Fiction

Abstract

Indian English novels also show a lot of new social changes. They show the country's complicated social, cultural, political, and historical landscape in a way that is all their own. During the colonial period, Indian writers began to use English as a way to explore themselves and show what life was like under British rule. Narrative genres in Indian English writing, thematic preoccupations, and experimental methodologies have diversified social transformation. Indian English fiction looks at how people in India talk about culture by looking at their hopes, ways of thinking, and the duties that come with being modern.
The first Indian English novels were shaped by colonial culture. They were having a hard time figuring out where they fit in their social and national contexts, which could only be done from a colonial point of view. The way stories were told was shaped by the big differences between local and global literary traditions. Raja Rao, R. K. Narayan, and Mulk Raj Anand offer an Indian viewpoint within English literature. Their writings about identities, cultural alienation, and social changes, the last of which had an effect on later literature. Many early narrative projects brought oral storytelling into English.
