Evaluation of Postmodern Indian English Literature which refers to the works of literature after 1980 is not an easy task. It has transcended the local and transformed into global, successfully meeting the challenges of the Bhasa literatures at home and Postcolonial literature and Anglo-American literatures abroad. If Raja Rao’s Kanthapura Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children (1981) and Nissim Ezeliel’s Latter-day Psalms (1982) mark postmodernism in India English Literature. The present book aims at analyzing critically the Postmodern Indian English Literature genre-wise-poetry, fiction, short story, drama and autobiography, beginning from 1980 to the present-day works.

Daruwalla, Dom Moraes, Amitav ghosh, Shashi Tharoor, Anita Desai, Vikram seth, Arundhati Roy, Manju Kapur, Raj Kamal Jha and many others have been studied from a different perspective.
