English.'Indian’may mean,either,written by Indian citizens,or written about Indian subjects,or even simply expressing Indiansensibility.This implies that there is a sensibility that is identified withthe land and people of India.National sensibilities are ultimately basedon racial and cultural factors.Whether they are inherited or acquiredis another moot question.“English”may be taken to suggest that acertain form of English language is used,or to imply that the cultureof the English people —of England—is at the back of it,to theextent the literature of Englandis apoint ofreference for its understanding,appreciation and evaluation.The word “poetry”is often left vaguelyunderstood,as definitions are likely to make the matter more complicatedthan it really is.But “Indian”and “English”are operative terms,andin the phrase “Indian poetry in English”they do overlap.  \nThus Indian poetry in English belongs to two distinct traditions:one arising from the use of subject matter or sensibility or authorshipand the other arising from the use of language,however much thislanguage may be Indianized.  \nThe two traditions mentioned here do not perhaps have very muchin common.History,geography,climate,racial composition,linguisticfactors,culture,social systems,political institutions:all these havebeen different for ages,and even the contacts established over a centuryor two cannot be said to have erased these differences.When twotraditions come into contact,they may react to each other in eitherof two ways :one reaction is that of confrontation,the other that ofcompromise.It is possible to argue that confrontation helps to retainthe individuality and vitality of both traditions,whereas compromise  \ncan be counterproductive and may lead to the decline of both.A thirdpossibility is that of mutual avoidance,in which case then there isno real contact.  \nIndian poetry in English seems to manifest the first two of thesetypes of contact.What is often called Indian Renaissance in the 19thand early 20th centuries reveals both the merits and defects of contactbetween
