Abstract

England ruled over India for a long span of time. As a result of this, Indian fiction writers of Pre and Post Independence had opportunity to portray the Indian Scenario during the British rule. In this article some Indian writers' works have been cited and at the same time Kamala Markandaya's vision is reflected through some of her novels. The picture we find in her novels are though fictitious yet have resemblance with the real picture of the British Indian under foreign rule. This article presents the sweet and sour but bitter relationship between the Indian people and the Britishers.
