The Place of Novel in Indian English Literature

 The Place of Novel in Indian English Literature:

There have been different forms of writing developed in Indian English Literature like poetry, prose, and drama, but the only possible literary form through which a writer can hope to keep himself in constant touch with the common readers is fiction. Usually, writers get themselves established through this genre. The bulk of Indian English Literature is in the novel form. Though its growth in later years far exceeded that of most other forms, fiction was actually last to arrive on the Indian English literary scene.
