Abstract

In India the novel is the readiest and most acceptable way of embodying experiences and ideas in the context of our time.The duality of Indo-English fiction has been attracting worldwide attention. One wonders whether the Indo-English novel is a part of the Indian tradition or the European tradition or of the abstract world tradition.The Indo-English fiction in Post-independent India assumed over the preceding thirty years all kinds of colorful traditions. It is now free from the social yard political overtones of a rabidly nationalistic variety.As regards the theme of the novel, in the late Twentieth Century alienation has significantly affected the Indo-English novel. It has served as a recurrent motif in quite a few works produced by Indian novelists in English. It is also the dominant trait of several characters created by the novelists.
