Indian Male Writers in English are the stalwarts of Indian English who adopted the colonial tongue to project the Indian ideas and ideals. Their works reveal that cultural tradition of India is a conflict between the colonial English identity, post-colonial ethnic identities and historical identities of the country. Language is the weapon of expression and the vent out of feelings, pathos, and the dichotomy of the cross cultural Indians before the Western World and the Colonial Superpowers occurred due to the evolution of Indian Writings in English.

Indian Male Writers added to the glitz and glory of the ethnic culture in the colonial tongue. Keki.N.Daruwalla or Keki Nasserwanji Daruwalla is counted among the most notable writers in English. Although he belongs to the community of Parsis in India, he prefers to be remembered as an Indian poet in English.

In the year 1970, Daruwalla`s first collection of Poems "Under Orion" was published. Some of the other works of the poet includes; The Keeper of Dead, Apparition in April, Crossing of Rivers, for which bagged the Sahitya Academy Award in the year 1984. As a matter of fact, his poetry stems instantly from the life around him. He served as a police officer in the Indian Police Service till his retirement and it offered him various opportunities to work in so many parts of the country and met the rough realities of life which lead to crime, communal riots, and other similar events from which the poet draws substance for his poetry. Even if belonging to the Parsi community in India, Daruwalla wants to present himself as an Indian poet writing in English.

Early Indian English Poetry was the earliest writing of the Indians in the English language. The first literary texts in English emerged from Bengal, and Raja Ram Mohan Roy (1774-1833), the progressive advocate of English civilization and culture, wrote numerous essays and treatises, which were collected in a complete volume in 1906. But it seems that poetry was the genre that first took flight in the Indian imagination, the best-known nineteenth-century poets being Henry Louis Vivian Derozio (1809-31), Michael Madhusudan Dutt (1827-73), Toru Dutt (1856-77), her cousin Romesh Chunder Dutt (1848-1909), and Manmohun Ghose (7-1924).

Mulk Raj Anand was another writer In English who came to the writing front due to a certain family tragedy. His first main novel, "Untouchable", published in 1935, was a chilling expos‚ of the day-to-day life of a member of India`s untouchable caste. It is the story of a single day in the life of Bakha, a toilet-cleaner, who accidentally bumps into a member of a higher caste. Bakha searches for comfort to the tragedy of the destiny into which he was born, talking first with a Christian missionary and then with a follower of Mahatma Gandhi, but by the end of the book he concludes that it is technology, in the form of the newly introduced flush toilet that will be his saviour. While the toilet may deprive him and his family of the traditional livelihood they have had for centuries, it may also liberate them in the end by eliminating the need for a caste of toilet cleaners.

This simple book, which captured the puissance of the Punjabi and Hindi idiom in English was widely acclaimed and Anand won the reputation of being India`s Charles Dickens. His friend, E. M. Forster, whom he met while working on T. S. Elliot`s magazine Criterion, wrote the introduction.
