Dichpally (Nizamabad): “Indian women writers in English did a commendable job by coming out with some world class writings,” said Telangana University Vice-Chancellor C. Partha Sarathi, here on Wednesday. Participating in a one-day national seminar on “Post-Colonial Indian English Women Novelists,” organised by the Department of English, Telangana University, he said that women novelists like Arundhati Roy, Kiran Desai, Shobha De and others have brought great acclaim to the country through their writings.

Referring to the importance of English language, the Vice-Chancellor stated that it has emerged as the global language and it was essential for the very survival in this highly competitive world.

The seminar convener Dr. K. V. Ramana Chary explained that the seminar was aimed at creating awareness among young research scholars about the writings of Indian women novelists and their contribution to the English literature.
