This study draws on postcolonial theory, science fiction criticism, utopian studies, genre theory, Western and Indian philosophy and history to propose that Indian science fiction functions at the intersection of Indian and Western cultures. Banerjee deploys a diachronic and comparative approach in examining the multilingual science fiction traditions of India, to trace the overarching generic evolutions, which he complements with an analysis of specific patterns of hybridity in the genre's formal and thematic elements. The book analyses Indian science fiction's use of alterity in its use of time, space and characters, and the epistemologies that ground its world building, to contend that in all of these intrinsic elements Indian science fiction shows an inherent cultural intersectionality - mostly between India and the West, but also among the diverse cultures of the nation. The work demonstrates that, despite the linguistic and cultural diversity of the Indian science fiction traditions, larger patterns and connections are visible.
