Modernism in Indian literature

Modernism in Indian literature, emerging in the early 20th century, represents a movement that broke away from traditional forms to explore new themes, styles, and perspectives. It reflects India's social, political, and cultural shifts, emphasizing individual consciousness, experimentation, and a break from classical norms. Writers like Rabindranath Tagore, Mahashweta Devi, and Mulk Raj Anand used Modernism to address issues like identity, colonialism, and societal change, blending Western literary techniques with Indian themes. Overall, Modernism expanded the scope of Indian literature, making it more diverse, introspective, and reflective of modern realities.
