Answer :
The novelists wrote for the political cause of nationalism. Nationalism implies many concepts which have been brought out in the following examples of novels written during the colonial era
(i) Pariksha Guru reflects the inner and outer world of the newly emerging middle classes.The characters in the novel are caught in the difficulty of adapting to colonised society, and at the same time, preserving their culture and traditions.
(ii) Bankims Ananadamath (1882) is a novel about a secret Hindi militia that fights Muslims to establish a Hindi kingdom. It was a novel that inspired many kinds of freedom fighters.
(iii) In Bengal, many historical novels were about Marathas and Rajputs. These novels produced a sense of a pan—Indian belonging.
(iv) Potheri Kunjambu, a ‘lower—caste’ writer from North Kerala, wrote a novel called Saraswativijayam in 1892 mounting a strong attack on caste oppression.
(v) Munshi Premchand’s Sewasadan deals mainly with the poor condition of women in society. Issues like child marriage and dowry are woven into the story of the novel. It also tells us about ways in which the Indian upper classes used whatever little opportunities they got from colonial authorities to govern themselves.
(vi) From the 1920s, in Bengal too, a new kind of novel emerged that depicted the lives of peasants and ‘low’castes. Titash Ekti Nadir Naam is an epic by Advaita Malla. Burman (1914-51) about the Mallas a community of fisherfolk who live off fishing in the river Titash.
(vii) Premchand’s novels, for instance, are filled with all kinds of powerful characters drawn from all levels of the society. In his novels, we meet aristocrats and landlords, middle—level peasants and landless labourers, middle class professionals, and people from all the strata of society.
