Indian Writings in English

Author : Dr. Surendra Kumar Sao

Indian Writings in English – Semester III is more than a textbook—it’s a vibrant introduction to the ideas, histories, and voices that define modern India. Created in line with the NEP-2020 Four-Year Undergraduate Programme, this anthology gathers poetry, prose, fiction, and drama to reveal how Indian writers have made English their own.

Discover the spiritual vision of Swami Vivekananda and Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the fearless social critique of B. R. Ambedkar, the lyrical power of Toru Dutt and Kamala Das, and the dramatic innovation of Girish Karnad and Mahesh Dattani. Each unit blends close reading with cultural insight, inviting students to explore themes of nationalism, caste, gender, secularism, and identity.

With clear introductions, contextual notes, and critical guidance, the book equips learners to think analytically and write with confidence. Indian Writings in English is both an essential academic resource and a celebration of India’s rich literary imagination.
