Indian Writing in English Raja Rammohan Ray was the first Indian to express himself effectively in black and white through English although he had been initiated into the language as a teenager. Thereafter Vivekananda displayed his perfect command of the language through his evocative prose, which made the West sit up and take notice of the greatness of Hinduism. Tagore had also written some poems in English. However, there is no denying the fact that Indian writings in English were extremely few. Jawaharlal Nehru and MK Gandhi were also great masters of the English language. The Discovery of India, Glimpses of World History etc. of Nehru are a clear testimony not only to his profound erudition but also to his absolute mastery in writing lucid prose in a foreign language. Gandhiji used the language in his writings with utmost precision and dexterity. He was followed by the great triumvirate of Anand-Rao-Naryan, who were the first to popularize Indian writing in English among a considerable section of our English-educated people. They wrote primarily fiction, and their elegant style soon captured the imagination of the common reader. Indian writing in English had finally arrived in the 1930s, after a marginal existence lasting over a century. Mahatma Gandhi: Although Gandhi used his native language, Gujarati, to write his famous autobiography, later translated into English by his secretary Mahadev Desai under the title The Story of My Experiments with Truth (1929), he used Hindi and l English with masterful skill and use. While living an eventful life among his people, who attempted to free themselves from moral decadence, economic exploitation and cultural subordination, Gandhi wrote, day and night, in and out of prisons, for his two diaries, Young India and Harijan. .Rabindranath Tagore: The national awakening in Asia found its first expression in Indian literature, and its most representative writer was Tagore (1861-1941). Tagore was the first Asian writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature (1913). Tagore represents a happy union between the ancient Indian tradition and the new European consciousness. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for his small volume of poems titled Gitanjali. Tagore gave Indian poetry a new type of lyric. Through his collection of short stories titled Galpa Guchchha, divided into three volumes, Tagore set the pace for modern storytelling in India. His famous novels, Gora and Ghare Baire, reflect the genius of a supreme visionary.
