The English Language Poetry of South Asians
In this study, ten independent critical essays and a coda explore the English-language poetry of South Asians in terms of time, place, themes and poetic methodologies. The transnational perspective taken establishes connections between colonial and postcolonial South Asian poetry in English as well as the poetry of the old and new diaspora and the Subcontinent. The poetry analysis covers the relevance of historical allusions as well as underlying concerns of gender, ethnicity and class. Comparisons are offered between poets of different places and time periods, yielding numerous sociopolitical paradigms that surface in the poetry.
Violent Belongings
Violent Belongings examines transnational South Asian culture from 1947 onwards in order to offer a new, historical account of how gender and ethnicity came to determine who belonged, and how, in the postcolonial Indian nation.

Dispersed Reflections
They are a collection of personal reflections and some are detailed notes on some topics mostly related to scriptures and social issues. They are all underlined by moral and ethical strains in the form of reflections and annotations. Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and other ancient books are the major components of the themes of writing. Some brief writings are the annotations of the scriptural texts. The collection also includes some poems written in English. Some are reviews and prefaces written by scholars on the author’s published books. The total general mood of writings contained in the book is reflective of social, cultural, and spiritual matters.
Indian English Poetry: A Critical Evaluation
The present anthology Indian English Poetry: A Critical Evaluation is an endeavour to shed some light on some major Indian English poets. It combines and discusses poets of two generations. From older generation of poets like Henry Derozio, Toru Dutt, Rabindranath Tagore to younger generation of poets like Nissim Ezekiel, Jayanta Mahapatra, Eunice de Souza, Gieve Patel, Kamala Das and many others, all have critically been studied in this anthology. Along with a brief and critical introduction about the origin and development of Indian English poetry, the anthology also covers an interview with modern Indian poet Keki N. Daruwalla. The anthology will be helpful to provide study materials for both students and teachers alike.
The BigBridge Book of Contemporary Indian Poetry
Indian poets writing in English have earned their space on the global stage, forging new paths and moulding the language to suit the Indian landscape, concerns, and themes. When Nissim Ezekiel crossed new frontiers with his 'A Time to Change' in 1952, it was recognised as one of the first significant books of postcolonial poetry in English; decades later, however, sceptics continued to ask why Indians insisted on writing in English and not in their mother tongues. An exasperated Saleem Peeradina said to me in an interview soon after his debut poetry collection First Offence appeared in 1980, "This question should be outlawed!" Mercifully, though such discussions may still linger in some academic circles, the issue no longer merits attention, at least among poets.
