Crossword Book Awards -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia 10/10/2017 Crossword Book Awards -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia Crossword Book Awards Crossword Book Awards, in full Raymond Crossword Book Awards, formerly in full (1998–99) Crossword Book Award, (2000–04) Crossword Book Awards, (2004–08) Hutch Crossword Book Awards, (2008–11) Vodafone Crossword Book Awards, and (2011–13) The Economist Crossword Book Awards, any of a series of Indian literary awards established in 1998 by Indian book retailer Crossword, its stated aim being to create a prize equivalent to Western literary accolades such as the Booker Prize and the Pulitzer Prize. The Crossword was initially conceived as a single award for a work of �ction written in English by an Indian citizen. In 2000 it was expanded to include a prize for a work of �ction written in any Indian language and translated into English. Following a hiatus (2001–03), in 2004 the bookseller teamed with Hutchison Essar Limited (known as Hutch Essar), an Indian telecommunications company, and reintroduced the honour as the Hutch Crossword Book Award. From 2006 the award included an additional non�ction prize and a popular award, voted on by the public. The award was known as the Vodafone Crossword Book Award from 2008, following the purchase of Hutchison Essar by English telecommunications giant Vodafone Group. A children’s book award was added in 2010. The 2011 prizes were awarded under the name The Economist Crossword Book Awards, which re�ected a shift in sponsorship to the British magazine The Economist. The Raymond Group, a textiles company, sponsored it from 2014. The awards included a monetary prize, and the winning books were promoted by Crossword. Each category was judged by a panel of writers and academics. Notable winners include Vikram Seth, Kiran Desai, and Salman Rushdie. Winners of the Crossword Book Award are listed in the table.

The life style of the 21st century people is very different; their attitude and culture have changed .This change of viewpoint is visible in every field of life including Film and television. Nowadays there are several realty shows capturing the attention of the people. The electronic media influence the mind of people. Different television programs target different categories of people .For example the cartoon programs target kids; the realty shows target youth. The points of view of the directors and audience are changing in the modern era. In earlier time, women had only a decorative role in the films. Their representation was merely for satisfying the needs of men. The roles of women were always under the norms and rules of the patriarchal society. They were most often presented on the screen as sexual objects .Here women were abused twice, first by the male character in the film and second, by the spectators. But now the scenario is different. The viewpoint of the directors as well as the audience has drastically changed .In this era the directors are courageous enough to make films with women as central characters.

Professor, College of Arts, Bhigwan, Tal. Indapur, Dist. Pune. ABSTRACT: Colonialism has a great effect on Indian literature. The present paper focuses on the effect of colonialism on Indian English literature. Amitav Ghosh, Salman Rushdie, R.K. Narayan, Anita Desai, Rohinton Mistry, Arundhati Roy, Kiran Desai and many other novelists and writers have written about their postcolonial experiences. Amitav Ghosh is one of the most widely known and widely read Indian writers who write from a postcolonial consciousness. Amitav Ghosh reveals areas of colonial oppression that were not much highlighted earlier. The images of politically and socially changing India, reflects in his work. His novels are the best examples of post-colonial literature. KEYWORDS : Post-colonial, literature, colonialism, racism, changing image of India. INTRODUCTION Post Colonial is a familiar term used for the literature. The term post-colonial is defined differently by different critics. According to the Oxford Dictionary, Post-colonial means, “occurring or existing after the end of colonial rule.” M.H Abrams defines, “Post-colonialism as the critical analysis of the history, culture, literature.” By these definitions, post colonialism is a period of time after colonialism, and postcolonial literature is normally categorized by its opponent to the colonial. However, some critics have argued that any literature that expresses an opposition to colonialism, even if it is created during a colonial period, may be coined as postcolonial.

  • Indian English Novel After 1980: Encompassing the New Generation
    JOURNAL OF CRITICAL REVIEWS ISSN- 2394-5125 Vol 8, Issue 1, 2021 INDIAN ENGLISH NOVEL AFTER 1980: ENCOMPASSING THE NEW GENERATION Arnab Roy Research Scholar National Institute of Technology, Durgapur Email: [email protected] Abstract: Indian English Literature refers to authors' body of work in India whose native or mother tongues might be one of India's several languages. It is also related to the work of Indian Diaspora members. It is also named Indo-Anglian literature. As a genre, this development is part of the larger spectrum of postcolonial literature. This paper discusses about Indian English novels after 1980. 1. Introduction This article attempts to consolidate Indian English Literature after 1980. There are a variety of books by literary artists such as SrinivasaIyengar, C.D. Narasimmaiya, M. K. Naik etc. that describe the beginning and development up to 1980. But the timely collection is not enough to date and this report is useful for a briefing on contemporary literary pedalling in around three-and-a-half decades. Apart from the deficiency of the correctly written root of the works consulted by Wikipedia, this kind of history is regularly obligatory. In India, post-colonial pressures played a critical and special position rather than post-war circumstances. It is true that an Indian genre called English writing has flourished unlimitedly and immensely and continues to thrive only during that time, i.e. after 1980. This paper is a study of Post- modern Indian English Novel, highlighting its history, themes adopted, andother aspects. 2. Historical past English isn't a foreign tongue to us.
