India is a museum of languages and literature and Indian writing deals with projection of its social, political, religious, ethnic and linguistic aspects. The beginning of contemporary Indian writing in English gained momentum with the post-colonial literature. The post-colonial discourse has become the chief concern in English studies in countries like India. It studies the issues connected with the subaltern women. During the last two decades, Indian English Literature has genuinely come of age and there has been a marvellous improvement in the quality and quantity of creative works produced by Indian Women writers in India and abroad. Indian English fiction holds the centre-stage as fiction is the most powerful, prominent and characteristic genre of literary expression. The noteworthy aspect of these writers is that their writings match the male counter parts and hence have won laurels in India and abroad. These writers can be hailed as ‘feminists’ in the true sense of the term. Thus Indian English Women’s writing today enjoys a unique and distinct reputation, prestige and respectability in the world of canonized English studies.

Keywords: Indian literature, social, political, religious, ethnic, linguistic, post colonial, subaltern, feminists.
