Today, more than half a century later, it remains one of the landmarks of our literature, featuring writers from various Indian languages, including English, whose works have stood the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book traces a map of what Jussawalla calls ‘literary and linguistic cross-currents’, through the writings of Nirmal Verma (Hindi), Sunil Gangopadhyay (Bengali), Bhalchandra Nemade (Marathi), P. Lankesh (Kannada) and Ashokamitran (Tamil), among other literary greats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis anthology challenges the colonial notion of Indian literature as a collection of exotica as well as the terrible misconception that modern Indian writing is an inferior mimicry of Western forms. What we have here is a literary record that stands out for the originality of the voices it contains and yet underscores a set of shared themes and artistic concerns that galvanized these writers and brought them together.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adil Jussawalla","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45010167005231,"sku":"9780143478645","price":699.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/9780143478645.jpg?v=1772698595","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/new-writing-in-india","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
