I am a Kenyan-born of Indian antecedents (who has yet to visit India) and I am pleased to say I have read Premchand's Godaan (in English translation). I wonder if anyone reads Mulk Raj Anand nowadays ...
Is this ignorance of Indian literature due to Congress Party's domination in govt. for the last 60 years?
In Kenya we were encouraged to read African writers when studying English Literature in schools!
