Indian women’s literary work is at the forefront of diasporic literature. The advent of Indian women novelists on the literary horizon is an important development in the Indian English literature. These women writers have also contributed to other genres, such as drama, poetry and short stories, not only in English but also in regional languages like Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil, Kannada and so on. Some modern women writers flourish their writing in the form of fables as a literary genre in an impressive way to focus on the specific themes. In last two decades, Indian women’s writing in English is blossomed, both published in India and abroad. The present paper is the review of diasporic consciousness in select works of contemporary Indian women novelists. It focuses on the attempt to highlight the quest for identity of those women who played a crucial role in defining themselves through their literary work in diasporic background.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Диаспорная литература - ключевой термин в литературе, включающий в себя литературные произведения авторов, которые являются аутсайдерами для своей родной страны, но их творчество глубоко укоренено на родине, отражая местную культуру, происхождение, перемещение и т. д. Литературное творчество индийских женщин находится в авангарде литературы диаспоры. Появление индийских писательниц на литературном горизонте является важным событием в индийско-английской литературе. Эти женщины-писатели также внесли вклад в другие жанры, такие как драма, поэзия и короткие рассказы, не только на английском, но и на региональных языках: хинди, маратхи, бенгальский, панджаби, тамильский, каннада и др. Некоторые современные женщины-писательницы процветают, впечатляющим образом используя в своем творчестве форму басен, чтобы сосредоточиться на конкретных темах. Последние два десятилетия характеризуются расцветом творчества индийских женщин, писавших на английском языке и публиковавшихся как в Индии, так и за рубежом. Настоящая работа представляет собой обзор диаспорного сознания в избранных произведениях современных индийских писательниц. Предпринимается попытка осветить поиск идентичности тех женщин, которые сыграли решающую роль в самоопределении через свою литературную работу в диаспоре.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>diaspora</kwd><kwd>Indian English fiction</kwd><kwd>Indian women novelist</kwd><kwd>quest for identity</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>диаспора</kwd><kwd>индийско-английская художественная литература</kwd><kwd>индийские писательницы</kwd><kwd>поиски идентичности</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Agrawal, A.
