This book is about the most vibrant yet under-studied aspects of
Indian writing today. It examines multilingualism, current debates
on postcolonial versus world literature, the impact of translation
on an "Indian" literary canon, and Indian authors' engagement with
the public sphere. The essays cover political activism and the
North-East Tribal novel; the role of work in the contemporary
Indian fictional imaginary; history as felt and reconceived by the
acclaimed Hindi author Krishna Sobti; Bombay fictions; the Dalit
autobiography in translation and its problematic international
success; development, ecocriticism and activist literature;
casteism and access to literacy in the South; and gender and
diaspora as dominant themes in writing from and about the
subcontinent. Troubling Eurocentric genre distinctions and the
split between citizen and subject, the collection approaches Indian
literature from the perspective of its constant interactions
between private and public narratives, thereby proposing a method
of reading Indian texts that goes beyond their habitual
postcolonial identifications as "national allegories".
