Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to the UGC Sponsored Two-day National Seminar on Current Trends in Indian Fiction in English scheduled for February 27 and 28, 2013 at our College Campus.

About the Seminar

Indian English fiction has always been responsive to the changes in material reality and theoretical perspectives that have impacted and governed its study since the time of its inception. Particularly in the recent past, the interplay of a variety of material and philosophical developments marks a discernible shift in the nature and study of Indian English fiction. Consequently, Indian English fictional scene has become variegated, complex and thematically richer. The writers settled abroad and the ones who divide their time between India and abroad have contributed much to this rapidly developing sub-genre of English literature.
Papers are invited on the following authors listed below:

Aravind Adiga, Chetan Bhagat, Upamanya Chatterjee, Amit Chaudhuri, David Davidar, Shoba De, Anita Desai, Kiran Desai, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Amitav Ghosh, Manju Kapur, Tabhish Khair, Jhumpa Lahiri, V.S. Naipaul, Anita Nair, Rohinton Mistry, Arundhati Roy, Salman Rushdie, Vikram Seth,                            Shashi Tharoor, etc

Sub Themes may be:   
Feminism
Diasporic writing
Subaltern Studies
Social Realism
Exploitation of the Poor / Low caste people
Innovative techniques employed by the authors
