Summary Essays on South Asian writers in English from all parts of the subcontinent who share a common fascination with the English language. South Asian writing in English is thriving and worth reading and studying, either as a whole or separately as Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan or Bangladeshi literature. Discusses the fate of the English language after the British left South Asia and the exile's return to a country that has changed and the search for roots.
