About this title

Synopsis

Writing in Indian English owes its origin to the English education Indians received during the colonial rule.Profound humanism imbued with a deep- rooted love for the suffering humanity is the core of Devi's philosophy of life.Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak in her Imaginary Maps stated that Devi characterizes these communities as the "Suffering spectators of India ... traveling towards the twenty-first century".Devi's works are popular in English translations among the readers both in India and abroad. Although her literary output in terms of quality and quantity is outstanding, she has not received the critical attention she deserves.Devi wields her pen for the downtrodden who try to come up in rebellion but meet with either violent death or inglorious defeat.
