The course is intended to sensitivise students to the various ways in which literature written in
English, in the Indian sub-continent serves as a platform for forming, consolidating, critiquing
and re-working the issue of national ‗identity‘ at various levels.
OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
On completion of the course, the student should be aware of the following:
1. The subtle flavours that distinguish the ‗Indian‘ quotient in English writings from India.
2. The different concerns that Indian English writers share, cutting across sub-nationalities and
regionalities.
3. The locus standi of diasporic ‗Indian‘ writers.
