reader‘s life but percolates deep down influencing civilizationby mirroring the social, economic and cultural aspects of
a society. The genres and sub-genres of novel over the years, despite numerous experimentations with style and form,
have sought to depict the world with itscomplexities of social problems, everyday life and charactersdriven by their
primal instincts and social conditions. Similarly, literature from the North East of India not only portrays the rich
culture, verdant nature, the struggle between armed resistance and peace pacts but also showcases the history of the
region.
