The novel in colonial India was useful for both the colonisezs as
well as the nationalists on account of a variety of reasons.
Colonial rulers found "vernacular" novels illuminating for the
information they provided on native customs and life. It was
useful in the governance of this diverse country. Indian
nationalists used the form of the novel to criticize colonial rule
and instill a sense of national pride and unity amongst the
people.
