Raja Rao (b. 1908), India’s first modernist, is one of the three major novelists of Pre-Independence India. He showed how English could be moulded into tempo and rhythm of Indian experience. Raja Rao modified English syntax and structure to suit his purpose. Raja Rao, an iconoclast in many perspectives, brought an epic breadth of richness to Indian fiction. Raja Rao: The Master and his Moves is a collection of research articles from the pen of scholars on Raja Rao across the globe.
