This course seeks to closely study a range of modern and contemporary fiction and non-fiction in English from South Asia from cultural, historical, religious, political, economic, social, and aesthetic points of view to come to an understanding about their place in both local, global and some Diasporic contexts. The course will examine how such writing developed and the ways in which it has evolved over the years. This will include works of fiction and non-fiction that are increasingly coming to us through translation into English.
