India is a large country. British India was bigger in size and population. Our history is bright. Chandragupta Maurya of Patna conquered the large territory amicably. After the decline of the Maurya dynasty, the vast kingdom could not remain united. Alauddin Khilji re-organised the fragmented pieces, thus formulating one vast India again. Such a position continued from the Sultanat period to the Mughal period. The descendants of Aurangzeb could not protect the nation and themselves. Britishers were like traders up to 1757, however they observed their scope in Indian polity. They were guided by their Headquarter London, whereas Indian rulers were dis-united. The Indian renaissance started during the early nineteenth century. English writing by any Indian was started by Dean Mohammad of Patna during 1794. His book The Travels of Dean Mahomet is perhaps the first English book by any Indian. Social reform through Indian English fiction was started during the early twentieth century. Sultana's Dream (1905) by Rokaya Sakhawat Husain is a land-mark. The English novel Rajmohan's wife by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay was superseded by his Bengali novels. Indian English novel writing, in true sense, starts during the fourth decade of the twentieth century. Mulk Raj Anand, R.K. Narayan, Raja Rao and Ahmed Ali contributed a lot in this literary genre. Ahmed Ali's first novel Twilight in Delhi was published during 1940, followed by his second novel Ocean of Night (1964) and the last novel Of Rats and Diplomats (1985). These all novels are sincere look towards the present and the future of the nation.
