| contents | <p><em><span>This paper explores the divergent paths of the Indian English novel through a comparative study of Mulk Raj Anand, Manohar Malgonkar, and Nayantara Sahgal. While contemporary to one another, these authors represented distinct segments of the Indian psyche. Anand acted as the conscience of the marginalized, Malgonkar as the chronicler of the vanishing aristocratic and martial traditions, and Sahgal as the analyst of the post-colonial political landscape. By synthesizing their major works, this study highlights how the Indian novel transitioned from a tool of social protest to a medium for historical reassessment and political critique.</span></em></p> <p> </p> |
