Interesting Facts

24. 
Just like China, India has over two
millennia old literary history. But unlike the
Chinese early literary works which were
either poetic or philosophical works, the
earliest literary works in India were the
Sanskrit sacred Vedic texts.
Indian Literature

25. The first Indian literary work was a collection of Sanskrit
hymns that was orally transmitted. The so-called Vedas
which were either sung or recited are thought to have
been composed as early as 1500 to 1200 BCE but they
were written down only at the end of the first
millennium BCE, while the oldest Veda texts date to
around 11th century. Prominent literary works in
Sanskrit of course also include the famous Ramayana
and Mahabharata epic poems which are thought to have
been created sometime between the 6th and 1st century
BCE.
Early Sanskrit Literature

26. Despite the fact that India is home to many different
languages, religious importance of the early Sanskrit texts
and the influence of Sanskrit on many Indian languages
enabled Sanskrit literature to flourish over one millennium.
Unfortunately, most Sanskrit works from the so-called
classical Sanskrit literature have been lost. The most
prominent surviving Sanskrit literary from the classical
period include the Abhijnanasakuntalam by Kalidasa,
Arthashastra and Neetishastra by Chanakya, Vasavadatta by
Subandhu and his son Skandagupta, Dashakumaracharita by
Dandin and of course Kama Sutra by Vatsyayana.
Classical Sanskrit Literature

27. With the exception of south India where Tamil literature has been
produced from the ancient times, medieval Indian literature
remained strongly influenced by the Sanskrit literature. However,
literary works that were created between the 11th and early 19th
century also reveal a major influence of Buddhist and Jain works.
At the same time, Sanskrit gradually give way to the Prakrit
language, especially in Buddhist and Jain texts as well as other
common Indian languages. The Muslim invasions from the early
8th century onwards and of course the arrival of the British also
left their mark on Indian literature. The period following the
decline of the Classical Sanskrit literature until the mid-19th
century was dominated by the so-called bhakti or devotional
poetry in all Indian languages.
Medieval Indian Literature

28. The period of the modern Indian literature starts with the first
movements for independence in the mid-19th century. The early
modern Indian literature, however, was greatly influenced by both
adoption of the Western thoughts and ideas on the one hand and their
rejection on the other. The period between the mid-19th and mid-20th
century thus saw the rise of a large number of literary works which
often incorporated both the elements of Sanskrit and Western literature.
The 20th century also saw the emergence of the Indian English literature
which refers to literary works that are written by Indian authors in
English language. Most famous Indian authors of the modern era
include the Nobel laureates Rabindranath Tagore and V. S. Naipaul, R.
K. Narayan, Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, Salman Rushdie, Mahadevi
Varma, Arundhati Roy and Kiran Desai to mention only a few.
