Indianness, Diversity, Unity, Literature, Intellect

India is Known for her liberal philosophy, culture, values and ‘unity in diversity’. What is called ‘Indianness’? “Perception or feeling of ‘being an Indian’ socially, culturally and spiritually.” (definition according to Collins Dictionary) Mark Twain wrote about India that “India is the cradle of the human race, the birth place of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend and the great-grandmother of tradition.” Indianness is about embedding values and history in a literary work that has originated, evolved and transformed on the Indian soil. There are a lot of Indian English writers who are talented and illustrious enrich the literature with their creative and innovative style of writing so that they can fulfil their own cultural purposes. However, in order to do so, it had to pass across diverse philosophical and intellectual terrains for awarding it a distinctiveness of its own. English is no longer the language of the English people alone. India’s long association with English language has benefited the people in many ways. It has enriched the Indian language and culture and has broadened our outlook on life. One praiseworthy feature of these English Indian writers is that they have not only natives the British mother tongue in terms of stylistic features, but they have also acculturated English in terms of the Indianite contest. India has produced many great writers who have influenced a whole coming generations by their writings. From R.K. Narayan to V.S. Naipaul all depict the daily life of a common man, his simplicity, culture and values always remain a favourite theme for their writings. Their works vividly portray the picture of Indian society and always spread the fragrance of our rich culture and traditions.
