Q. Write a note on
a note on "Indo-Anglian Poetry of the 198
Century​

Answer 1

Answer:

The term “Indo-Anglian” is used to denote original literary creation in English language by Indians. Today there are large number of educated Indians who use the English language as a medium of the creative exploration and expression of their experience of life. Their writing has now developed into substantial literature in its own right and it is this substantial body of literature which referred to as “Indo-Anglian literature”. The Indo-Anglian literature is to be distinguished from ‘Anglo-Indian’ literature. The term “Anglo-Indian literature” is used to denote the writing of Englishmen in English about India and Indian life. Their works are significant as they serve to interpret India to the west. However, their presentation of Indian life is often romantic rather than realistic. Indian is presented as a land of Snake-charmers, Jugglers, Rajas and Maharajas and one great value of Indo-Anglian literature is that it serves to correct this picture and project a more favorable and truthful image of India. There is another term “Indo-Anglian literature” which is used to denote translation into English from literature in Indian languages. The Indo-English literature is further divided into classical and modern Indo-English literature. Classical Indo-English literature requires a certain degree of interpretation and adaptation of meanings, to accommodate with some latitude in translation becomes inevitable. Some allowance has also to be made foe prevailing literary taste and scruples at the time when the translation takes place. Similarly, some freedom may be claimed by the translation of some work when he has the definite audience in mind.
