east indian novel

I'm not sure who the author of 'The East Indian A Novel' is. You can check the book itself or search for it on the internet.

Often, East Indian novels are deeply influenced by the historical and political context of the region. They may touch on topics such as colonialism and its aftermath, the struggle for independence, and the ongoing social and political changes. This historical backdrop shapes the characters' lives and their outlooks, as well as the overall themes of the novel.

One common theme is caste and class differences. Novels often explore how these hierarchies shape the lives and opportunities of individuals in East Indian society.

In an East Indian Story, nature is a significant element. The beautiful landscapes like the lush jungles and the vast oceans are often part of the backdrop. Mythical creatures are also common. For instance, there are stories about nagas (serpent - like beings). And of course, the strong religious beliefs are reflected in the stories, whether it's Hinduism, Buddhism or other religions.

I'm sorry, I haven't read specific reviews about it. You can try looking for reviews on literary websites or in book review magazines.

There is also 'A Fine Balance' by Rohinton Mistry. This novel delves deep into the lives of four characters in India during a time of political unrest. It shows how their fates are intertwined with the larger social and political fabric of the country, and is highly regarded for its exploration of human nature and the Indian experience.

In the East Indian Story, there was a beautiful princess. She lived in a grand palace. The princess was known for her kindness. One year, a drought hit the land. The princess decided to use her own wealth to dig wells for the people. She worked day and night with the workers. Her selfless act not only saved the people from thirst but also won the hearts of everyone. And she became a symbol of hope and love in the East Indies.

Another is 'Midnight's Children' by Salman Rushdie. This novel is a magical - realist exploration of India's transition from colonial rule to independence, and how the lives of those born at the midnight of India's independence are intertwined with the nation's fate. It contains elements of history, mythology, and family saga.

There could be a protagonist who is caught between two worlds - the Eastern world he comes from and the Western world around him. Maybe there's also an older relative, like a grandparent, who serves as a link to the pure Eastern traditions. And there might be friends or neighbors who either support or challenge the main character's journey in dealing with the East - West divide.

Well, it could be about identity. Given the title 'east is east', it may deal with characters trying to figure out their place in a world where the East has its own distinct characteristics, perhaps in relation to the West. Maybe it shows how people from an Eastern background navigate their lives while being influenced by both their native culture and the encroaching Western culture.
