Contours of the Contemporary: Indian Literature in the Present Era

Author(s)	Prof. Dr. Yasmeen Mughal
Country	India
Abstract	This paper explores the landscape of modern-day Indian literature, probing the interplay between convention and modernity in a culturally diverse, multilingual society. As India continues to evolve politically, socially and technologically, its literary expressions emulate these shifts across themes, genres, and voices. The rise of regional language writing, the influence of digital platforms, and the increasing presence of marginalized narratives reveal a literary scene that is both fragmented and richly interconnected. Through thematic analysis and critical engagement with notable works and authors, the paper highlights how Indian literature today functions as a vibrant cultural archive—capturing identity, dissent, innovation, and memory in powerful ways.
