Dr. Stasik`S Study Is Based On Twenty-Two Hindi Source Texts. What Gives Out Of India, Its Special Significance In A Situation Where Indian Culture Seems To Be Wavering Between Traditionalism And What Is Conveniently Called `Globalization` (As If The Two Could Not, And Should Not, Coexist), Is The Ample Proof It Provides Of The Fact That The Literary Topos Of Indians Abroad, Along With The Ensuing Encounters (And Clashes) Of Culture, Is Not A Prerogative Of Indo-English Writing But Can Be Taken Up, With Even Greater Conviction And Authenticity, By Literatures In Indian Languages As Well.
