Indian English literature is the Cinderella of literature in English. Indian drama in English is the Cinderella of Indian English literature. A recent bibliography of Indian writing in English1 lists as many as separate titles under poetry, under fiction and a partly under drama. The bibliography of Indian drama in English appended to Perspectives on Indian Drama in English . Actually of these three forms, poetry and drama began their careers around the same time, with Henry Derozio?s Poems (1827) and Krishna Mohan Banerji?s, The Persecuted (1831) respectively, while the first Indian English novel - Bankim Chandra Chatterji?s Raj Mohan?s Wife appeared only in 1864. Since then, the ?pocket theatre? has clearly left the theatre far behind in the development of Indian writing in English. Fiction has already produced masterpieces like Untouchable, The Serpent and The Rope and The Guide. Indian drama in English was unable to grow similarly and bear rich fruit.
