Vernacular Literature in India.

This article presents information about the vernacular literature in India. The vernacular literature, of late years, has received a great impetus from the reactionary wave that has been sweeping over India. The immediate result of the introduction of English education in Hindustan was to infatuate the young men of the land with, a reverence for everything Occidental, good, bad, and indifferent. Many men tried their hand at fiction. Indeed, novels in the different dialects are becoming very popular in this country. Not only do the half-educated men devour them, but the middle class and aristocratic women with primary schooling are greedy for them.
