Indian writing in English has now grown up into Indian English Literature. With its new face, it represents in its fullness all major aspects of Indian-ness. ‘Now that Indian fiction has become well entrenched within the larger gamut of Indian English literature, feminist fiction has occupied the centre stage as the most powerful and characteristic form of literary expression. Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Shashi Deshpande, Mahashweta Devi, Manju Kapur, Arundhati Roy, Jhumpa Lahiri, et al. have made the Indian novels in English the world’s best sellers’. (Prasad and Malik, 226)

Her books have been translated into many languages both in India and outside.
