The novel originated in Europe at a time when it was colonising the rest of the world. The early novel contributed to colonialism by making the readers feel that they were part of a superior community of fellow colonialists. On the other hand, Indian novelists wrote to develop a modern literature for the country that could produce a sense of national belongingness and cultural equality with their colonial masters.
