Indian Modernism

Indian Modernism refers to a cultural and artistic movement in India that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, influenced by Western modernist ideas while rooted in Indian traditions. It encompasses literature, art, and architecture, embracing new techniques and themes like individualism, urbanization, and social change.
