Waiting for the Mahatma (1955) are his other popular novels. The last of the
harbingers of Indian English literature is Raja Rao (b.1909), whose novel
Kanthapura (1938), set in rural India, established him as a major figure on
the Indian literary scene. His other novels are The Serpent and the Rope
(1960) and The Cat and Shakespeare (1965). Nirad Choudhuri (1897–1999)
was another internationally renowned Indian writer whose autobiography An
