Trailing the Altering Trajectory of Post-COVID Indian Literary Trends

Abstract In 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic broke out, significantly altering the course of global society and the literary world alike. Worldwide lockdown and uncertainty ensued as a result of the virus's devastating impact on economies and lives as it swiftly moved from Wuhan to nations all over the world. Consequently, the publishing sector and reading habits underwent a discernible transformation, with a special emphasis on India. Sales of nonfiction books on topics including health, history, self-help, and spirituality surged during the crisis as people looked for answers and solace in these areas. Readers seeking consolation and useful information found resonance with memoirs, self-help publications, and works tackling systemic difficulties. The pandemic produced societal adjustments, and authors, notably Indian writers, reflected these changes by writing nonfiction that addressed both current challenges and historical viewpoints. Concurrently, literary works shifted to focus on human frailty in times of crisis, themes such as solitude and perseverance. Readers are increasingly looking for content that is both urgent and relevant, and this tendency is mirrored in the increase of interest towards nonfiction. The literary environment has been transformed by the epidemic, which has changed daily life and underscores the ongoing importance of literature in coping with uncertainty. The genre's development during this period demonstrates that stories continue to be a vital asset for comprehending and navigating social transitions, regardless of how the world changes around them.
