salient features of indian english writing

Explanation:
Indian literature, though, recognised nationally, it hasn't nicely established globally yet.
Literature in ancient India, was mostly dependent on Sanskrit. The two major epics, Ramayana (by Maharshi Valmiki) and Mahabharata (Muni Ved Vyas) were written in the Sanskrit language. Abhigyanashakuntalam and Meghadutam by Kalidasa, are also the best examples of Sanskrit literature. The Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas and Dharmasutras are all written in Sanskrit. The Rig Veda is a collection of 1028 hymns in Vedic Sanskrit.
The era of Indian modern literature began in the late nineteenth century. Bengali authors, perhaps, were in the lead this time. In modern times Swami Vivekananda, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Mahatma Gandhi and many others used the text to help motivate the Indian independence movement. During this period, different types of literature was produced in Sanskrit. Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyaya, Rabindranath Tagore, Premchand, etc. rank among the world's best literary personalities. With advent of the British, English also became a common language to get connected and share ideas and feelings.
The most famous writer is Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, who received the Nobel Prize in 1913 for Literature. Tagore's own translation of 'Gitanjali' to English brought him international fame. His 'Gora' is considered to be an exemplary novel in Indian literature.
Concluding, I would like to say that the Indian readers have a great taste for their read. Their choice needs to be saluted.
