Abstract
In order to deal with the new voices of Indian English literature, it would be in the fitness of things to have a cursory look at Indian aesthetics. In Indian context, aesthetics means "science and philosophy of fine art." Thus, it has two aspects-the first is the science and the second is philosophy. Here science means the creative use of language at the levels of phoneme, lexis, grammar, sentence or subject, episodes and composition and philosophy is the experience of the absolute or moral prescription as the function of literature. In Indian aesthetics this experience in literature has been understood as Rasa-Brahma-vāda (school dealing with the experience of absolute in literature), one of the three schools of Indian aesthetics, the other two being the Nad-Brahma-vāda school dealing with the experience of absolute in music) and Vastu- Brahma-vād (school dealing with the experience of absolute in Literature architecture).
