The Indian English short fiction has faithfully recorded the challenges and confrontation of values and process of transition and transformation going on in the Indian society. In the discourse on the fate of marginalized communities, the writers were encouraged to represent the sufferings of women and children. Besides social-political awareness, the development of psychology has modified the perception of life. With these changes, there came a wave of children’s literature. The representation of the children’s world has always been a source of fascination for the writers during all ages and all countries. A large number of novels and short-stories from pre-independence to post-independence India present a vivid account of child life. The writers have taken child characters as an instrument to project the social-vices. And there is a strong affinity of these works with the best in world literature. The short stories of Tagore like Kabuliwala and other stories, Home and the World, R.K. Narayan’s Swami and Friends, Malgudi Days, ‘Vendor of Sweets’ present different dimensions of child life particularly the struggle of children against the cramped conventions of society. Where Premchand choose his themes from peasantry and humble folk of Uttar Pradesh, Anand selected themes from day to day expressions surroundings around him and select heroes from his environment. He wrote in an unselfconscious way about what he had seen at first hand in the years of his childhood, boyhood and youth. Both Mulk Raj Anand in English and Prem Chandra in Hindi revolutionalized the well knit pattern of literary aesthetics. They made efforts to make a representation of the social-evils through the consciousness of their child protagonists alongwith their image in Indian Society.
