Delighted to see a few more Indian writers entering our competitions at www.inscribemedia.co.uk
Indian fiction is at an exciting point right now. Reading the work of several analysts on the state of Indian fiction, they comment that much of it remains fascinated by themes that have long characterised it - the nature of love, personal awareness and the power of emotions as well as an ability to evoke the past in a vibrant way.
However, what also seems to be happening is the emergence of new themes in which writers feel they can explore and challenge the very modern world around them. Certainly some of the stories we receive from India reflect that, looking at the changes in Indian society, the challenges of living in a world where the rapid advances in technology threaten the old ways, and also the changing role of women.
What is becoming clear is that Indian fiction is going to be a force in world fiction for a long time to come.
