This comprehensive anthology of modern Indian writing, covering about a hundred and fifty years, shatters many illusions about the literature of this continent. Rather than being based on the handful of writers who produce work in English, it focuses on the amazingly diverse writings that stem from India's multiple, sometimes competing traditions.
Translations from Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, and the South sit alongside writing in English, bringing to light the greatest and most engaging writers from India's recent history. With insightful introductions to the writers and their work, this is the most eclectic, enlightening and enthralling anthology of Indian writing to date.
