Abstract

During British dominance in India, the English language was introduced. This colonial language was learned by Indians, and some Indian writers began writing in English.
“Sake Dean Mahomet published Travels of Dean Mahomet in 1793, which was the first book written in English by an Indian. The tendency of English writing has continued since that time, and today, male and female writers have established their separate fields. Female authors produced significant contributions in the form of excellent novels, poetry, and prose. The study is based on secondary sources and provides a brief introduction to the texts.
