Abstract (Original Language): 
When we look at the history of the Indian English novel, we understand that the social and political reformers of modern India have also contributed to Indian writing in English literature. The works of Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Rabindranath Tagore, Aurbindo Ghosh, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru were changing the face of India. The works of Raja Rao, R.K.Narayan, Mulk Raj Anand reveal the aspects of changing India in their works. We come to know the development of Indian English novels traced out from pre-independence and post-independence era. Pre-independence Indian novel is characterized by the social awareness and desire for social and political changes. We see Gandhian impact on pre-independence Indian literature. The humble beginning of Indian English novel with Bankim Chandra Chatterjee's 'Raj Mohan's Wife' in 1864 has come to an age where it can compete with the British and the American novel, in style and narrative.
