Volume : III, Issue : VII, August - 2013 The Indian Novels Reflect The Contemporary Society Of India![](ArticleImage/No_Image.jpg) S. S. Tapswi And Dewayani S. Wagh Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : When we look at the history of the Indian English novel, we understand that the social and political
reformers of modern India have also contributed to Indian writing in English literature. The works of Raja Ram
Mohan Roy, Rabindranath Tagore, Aurbindo Ghosh, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
and Jawaharlal Nehru were changing the face of India. The works of Raja Rao, R.K.Narayan, Mulk Raj Anand
reveal the aspects of changing India in their works. We come to know the development of Indian English novels
traced out from pre-independence and post-independence era. Pre-independence Indian novel is characterized by
the social awareness and desire for social and political changes. We see Gandhian impact on pre-independence
Indian literature. The humble beginning of Indian English novel with Bankim Chandra Chatterjee's 'Raj Mohan's
Wife' in 1864 has come to an age where it can compete with the British and the American novel, in style and
narrative. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : S. S. Tapswi And Dewayani S. Wagh, (2013). The Indian Novels Reflect The Contemporary Society Of India.
