Mulk Raj Anand
Born in 1905, Mulk Raj Anand along with other writers of his time including R.K. Narayan and Raja Rao, are considered to be the pioneers of Indian-English fiction. Angered by an India where the caste system was still rigidly prevalent, he based most of his work on the lives of people in the so-called lower castes. His first major work, Untouchable (1935), is based on a single day in the life of a toilet-cleaner who has an encounter with a member of a higher caste. His other major works, including Across the Black Waters (1939), Coolie (1936), and The Big Heart (1945), are all critically acclaimed and central to the history of Indian literature.
R.K. Narayan
You will rarely meet an Indian who hasn’t spent a decent share of their childhood reading about and trying to picture life in the fictionali town of Malgudi, a creation of R.K. Narayan that is featured in some of his most famous books, including Swami and Friends (1936) and Malgudi Days (1942). He is among the first Indian novelists writing in English to gather a global readership, dramatically changing the literary scene in the country.
Salman Rushdie
This award-winning writer is most known for his works, the Booker Prize-winning Midnight’s Children (1981), and the controversial The SatanicVerses (1988). However, with 12 published novels and several works of non-fiction, this acclaimed writer is an important, defining figure in the South Asian literary world
Anita Desai
Having been shortlisted for the Booker Prize on three occasions, Anita Desai is a well known and celebrated figure in the Indian literary world. Her most famous works are post-partition novel Clear Light ofDay (1980), In Custody (1984) which was adapted into an award winning film in 1993, and The Village by the Sea (1982) for which she won the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize.
