The contribution of literature to any given society is immense. Literature has the capacity to mould the thinking of a whole Age, it is the mirror of the society. Authors and poets reflect the development of society and people in their compositions which helps us to classify them into various periods. The Literature of a particular period, can be easily identified by its style of writing or genre as it is representative of its time.
Literature is also a mode to express public opinion in variety of genres. It is also a part of tradition, one we pass on to our future generation. It tells us of our rich culture and gives us a sense of pride in our country. Literature is the lighthouse of any culture and to know any culture better we must know its literature as it gives us a true picture of the culture and its development. The extant remains of the literary texts of earlier civilizations throw light on our past and gauges our development.
Literature enriches the mind and reading as they say makes a man perfect. Today there are books available on a variety of subjects, books meant for education, books meant for entertainment and books meant for self- development. There is a book for each one`s choice.
All said and done, literary enlightenment of a society is the true measure of its development and progress and India is a land with a rich literary heritage and one that people all over the world look up to for guidance.
