Indian English Literature - Alternative Writing

Alternative Writing

India's experimental and avant garde counterculture is symbolized in the Prakalpana Movement. During the last four decades this bilingual literary movement has included Richard Kostelanetz, John M. Bennett, Don Webb, Sheila Murphy and many others worldwide and their Indian couterparts. Vattacharja Chandan is a central figure who contrived the movement. Prakalpana fiction is a fusion of prose, poetry, play, essay, and pictures. An example of a Prakalpana work is Chandan's bilingual Cosmosphere 1 (2011).

Some bilingual writers have also made significant contributions, such as Paigham Afaqui with his novel Makaan in 1989.

Shripad Krishnarao Vaidya (born on 05th May, 1969) from Maharashtra, India has created a record by writing a Poetry book with the longest title. This book has title in 355 words. It was published on 28th March, 2010. The title of this book is grammatically correct and makes a sense about the theme of the book.
