Indian writing in English is a relatively-recent phenomena, as far as literature goes. Though one can trace such writers in India to a century back, Indian writing in English has come into force only in the last couple of decades or so. Some of these writers have achieved worldwide fame, some national, and others perhaps have to be content with a more constricted circle. In these pages, I will collate information on this disparate group of Indian writers in English.

The very definition of the adjective “Indian” here is hazy. Many of these writers neither live in India, nor are Indian citizens. To get around this haziness, I will cast my net as wide as possible and include all those writers who are related to India be it by origin, or the subject of their writings—whether they admit it or not, whether they like it or not!

There will be frequent updates and additions here, including write-ups on individual writers and later perhaps, reviews or blurbs of specific books. Watch this space.

Note: The writers’ names marked with a dagger denotes that the link contains information only about the books written, and no/incomplete biographical content. You are welcome to send me biographical information on those writers.
