Opis

This book comprises eleven essays on secular concept of education in India and its propagator Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviya, Nissim Ezekiel-the father of 'New' poetry in Indian English and various fiction writers in Indian subcontinent from 'triumvirates' to modernists/contemporaries viz. Mulk Raj Anand, Raja Rao, R.K. Narayan, Kamla Markandeya, Shashi Deshpande, Siddharth Gigoo and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. These authors represent various significant aspects of post-Independence India and aftermath cultural sensibility and their relevance is both intrinsic and historical.
