Abstract

A number of contemporary Indian novels in English, such as The Lowland, The Inheritance of Loss and Can You Hear the Nightbird Call?, explore territorial conflicts in recent Indian history. Combining realist modes with postcolonial allegories, these novels offer a glimpse of gloomy post-Partition upheavals, such as the Naxal riots, the separatist movements for Gorkhaland and the Emergency, highlighting the ethical power of transnational fiction.
