Event Details : 'Reading Here from There' a talk by Rick Simonson.
Indian writing in English is best summed up by Salman Rushdie’s statement in his book "the ironic proposition that India's best writing since independence may have been done in the language of the departed imperialists is simply too much for some folks to bear". This created a lot of resentment among many writers and Amit Chaudhuri questions it by saying "Can it be true that Indian writing, that endlessly rich, complex and problematic entity, is to be represented by a handful of writers who write in English, who live in England or America and whom one might have met at a party?"
