Click here to reply to @manasvii09 "And because students usually grow up reading Shakespeare or Dickens or Robert Louis Stevenson, they rarely encounter contemporary Indian authors. And due to this, they usually do not have a connect with their own heritage of literature. More so probably the fact that we ourselves grow up in India and we do know how things around here work, they probably do not feel the same level of curiosity for Indian literature. Considering the fact that these Indian authors

Instead of just annoying texts, for example, we should present them as a living, breathing story, you know, full of depth and imagination. Lastly, as readers, you know, we need to make a conscious effort to explore and support Indian literature. If we can make a Colleen Hover book trend, why not Amrita Pritham, right? You know all the other Indian authors, right?"

Yet despite this rich legacy, Indian literary workers often struggle to gain the same recognition as Western literature, even within our own country. So why is this case? There are few key reasons behind this. First, the dominance of English language

Click here to reply to @dro "I believe that Indian literary works often struggle to match the popularity of Western counterparts, reason being that even within India, due to a lot of factors, English dominates the literary market and Western books benefit from global marketing and strong publishing networks and established branding. Additionally, there are many Indian readers which perceive Western literature as more refined or universally influenced, from colonial history to general global pop

Elizabeth's journey of self discovery, where she learns to challenge her own biases and grow emotionally, resonates with reader even today. Her independence, sharp humor, and ability to understand for herself make her a timeless character who embodies both strength and vulnerability."

The first one, which I feel like is how the Western culture is dominating in India and how the youngsters are towards, you know, categories or genres like romance, thriller, crimes and action horror.

Click here to reply to @Shash-027 "As in to say they want their literature, they want a set amount of people to always then go ahead and opt into their books so they are less prone to experimenting. So as in to say, the lesser they experiment, the lesser development they get, because they are now afraid that they do not want to lose this set base of people. Hence they probably do not want to develop into other fields of India."

My ideas to make more interesting the book readers meet are generally in readers meet, people discuss about the content of the book, narrator's perspective and the theme of the book. Along with that, including the third person perspective increases more enthusiasm and engages the people into that book.

Click here to reply to @shriyab2006 "So I feel like that is one of the major reasons that it's not able to flourish the way that we want it to. I think another factor is perception. Western literature, it is often seen as more modern or more universal or something that people can relate with. While Indian works are very often, you know, stereotyped as being very overly traditional or very extorticized, which is not really true."

And they've been in this bubble of, you know, watching foreign TV shows, consuming foreign media, reading foreign literature. So because of that, I guess."

Click here to reply to @Bhavya_b_20 "There are several reasons why Indian literary works, especially in the regional languages are not as popular as Western counterparts even in India. First point would be colonial hangover and prestige of English. English is still considered a language of aspiration in India. Many readers associate Western books with higher quality or global relevance leading to a preference for English language books over regional or even Indian English literature. Second point

Click here to reply to @Bharvi_7 "So, I mean, I'm still kind of diplomatic about it because obviously I feel like books should be converted into cinematic adaptations, but while maintaining their essence, while maintaining the beauty and the depth of the book, the idea and the, you know, the morals that we gain from the book. So, yeah,"

Click here to reply to @mist "Is a villain truly born evil, or are they shaped by suffering? Few characters embody this question as powerfully as Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights. His story is one of love, loss and revenge. A man not born wicked, but made cruel by the world around him. Heathcliff's life begins in hardship. Found as an orphan on the streets of Liverpool, he is taken in by Mr. Earnshaw and raised at Wuthering Heights. But his presence sparks resentment."

So I think like he might not have been very, very famous or as famous as Harry, but his bravery was just as important. Yeah, this is my opinion."

This act of violence and betrayal leads to her emotional breakdown, turning her into a vengeful and embittered figure. Her decision to curse Princess Aurora is not born out of inheritant evil, but out of pain, anger and the desire for revenge against Stefan.

Until a glitch and anomaly awakened something within him. Awareness. He questioned his orders. He saw the destruction, the lives lost. And when he refused to obey, they tried to shut him down.

His story is a tragic tale of abuse, isolation and manipulation, making him more of a misunderstood figure than a truly evil one. Credence grows up in a strict oppressive environment under Marillo Varwon, the leader of anti witchcraft group the Second Salmons."

Click here to reply to @shikha2811 "Instead of seeking unity, he chose war. Instead of diplomacy, he chose violence. Yet in his final moments, his words stuck a nerve. He forced Tithala to see that Wakanda could no longer remain silent. And in the end, it was Killmonger's vision that changed Wakanda's future. So was he a villain? Or was he just a man shaped by pain, fighting for justice the only way he knew how? That is the real question. Thank you."
