Introduction

The pandemic gave us reasons to delve deep and look beyond the normal, shoving us into a capsule of self-banishment and demanding us to reflect on the many privileges that we somehow took for granted, and being grateful for the same.
It altered lives in ways unimaginable and revived the lost melody, with people finding new ways to survive, adapt and grow.
Amid unprecedented darkness, Arts and Literature has always been a beacon of hope, enriching lives and defining who we are as humans.
Through the prism of Literature, we view the art of words that not only gives pleasure to our restive souls but in essence holds a mirror to the society thereby becoming a means to validate cultural values and history connected with them.
And it is the sheer power and magic of words that expand our skies and broadens our horizons.
Literature is the panacea for all societal ills and a powerful tool for effective learning.
The journey of Indian literature is rooted in diversity and marked with a shift in the themes, ideas, and styles.
Despite these subtle changes and diversity, literature remains relatable because of the linguistic density of the Indian sub-continent and the willingness to take up and absorb all wonderful things from any language or culture.
The sheer ability of the litterateurs to produce their vast literary creations without worrying about the trends eventually led to a rich collection in many languages.
Indian Literature originated during the Vedic period and gradually progressed to newer forms and manifestations.
It is clearly an outcome of a multi-cultural mélange where a thousand worlds forge themselves to create a mind-boggling symphony of words.
