Literature is one of the aesthetic forms and is a powerful medium of

expression. Literature is the consequence of humanity's creative curiosity,

and persistent efforts of a few extraordinary individuals who, despite the

devastating, depilating obstacles and obstructions, rise to articulate their

inner musings and inmost thoughts, their sobbing's and throbbing's. New

Literatures in English have emerged from colonial experiences and their

legacies and remade the forms and functions of English as a global

language. They are marked by complex transcultural diversity in an

increasingly globalized world. New Literatures, phoenix-like, regenerate,

renew themselves to meet startling changes and baffling challenges in life

giving rise to a paradigm shift to new themes necessitating new narrative

techniques and fresh assumptions without, of course, sacrificing artistic

brilliance or narrative coherence. New Literature are not prudish but all-

inclusive and aren't not their sharp and yearning gaze from prurient subjects

and sexual perspectives intelligently interwoven in an elegant and

sophisticated style with the main narrative. The Conference on New

Literatures in English: Themes and Techniques studiously explores the

emerging new literary situations and trends and discovers and discusses

new strategies to comprehend the increasingly incomprehensible

problems. This special issue carries articles focusing on the themes of New

Literatures in English. The contributors have attempted to throw light on the

issues of cultural plurality and hybridity, negotiations of colonization and

decolonization, migration, diaspora, women and social inequality.
