It has a deep-rooted connection through a shared history and culture. The experience of allocation of history and culture that is common, yet utterly personal, makes the literature of the region unique and provides South Asians a common basis for understanding their position in the contemporary world. Opponents of South Asian Literature mostly focus on religion, region, and nationality within South Asia, but my concern in the present lecture moves beyond this.

 It addresses the problems of identity and survival, particularly linguistics inside changing geography and changing society. Colonial oppression, ethnicity, religion, and border issues are paramount and have led to rabid linguistic regionalism. The present discussion involves a survey of pieces of literature in English available in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. It is important to look into the connections this offer and to see where they have positioned South Asians in contemporary times and how South Asian Literature in English is going to be shaped in the future against all odds.

South Asian literature is the epitome of odds. It holds the discussion, from petty matters to major ones. A vast variety of themes are visible in this literature. It refers to the literary works of writers from the Indian subcontinent and its surrounding areas. Countries to which South Asian literature writers are linked include India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, The Maldives, Burma, Bhutan, Afghanistan, and Iran. The Literary works produced by the writers of this region are enriched with political, social, cultural, religious, socio-economic, national, and global contexts and issues. It comprises the following problems:

Ø    Feminism

Ø    Conservatism

Ø    Terrorism

Ø    Religion

Ø    Violence

Ø    Challenges

Ø    Struggles

Ø    Complex

Ø    Aspirations

Ø    Conflicts

Ø    Dilemma

Ø    Racism

Ø    Depression

Ø    Assumptions

Ø    Separations

Ø    Partition

Ø    Cosmopolitanism

Some examples of South Asian literature are as under:-

1.            Khushwant Singh’s introductory novel Train to Pakistan reflects the conflict between cultures and ethnic violence. This violence between Muslims and Hindus started in Calcutta and became contagious to reach Mano Majra, a multi-ethnic village on the border of Pakistan. The fictional village Mano Majra has a railway station, a Gurudwara, and a mosque. Before the riot, all the people in the village were intact. But the riot has made them confused and confronted ethnically and culturally

2.          The novel Cry, The Peacock by Anita Desia, reveals the dilemma of the protagonist Maya in the form of disillusionment in life due to the rationale and materialistic nature of her husband Gautama, who stands in stark contrast to her sensitive nature. This difference snatches away the ability to share her inner aspirations with him because of which she is shown to move towards insanity.

In conclusion, the above-mentioned discussion can be observed that involves the literature of not only one region but also talks about taboos. The above-mentioned features talks about the reality of society and how beautiful being become the victims of patriarchal society, and it also talked about how a well know land become unknown to them, or they feel alienated at that place. So South Asian features discussed everything very beautifully while injecting and introducing new things.
