Indian literary movements integrally belong to the category of spontaneous outbursts both prior to and after Indian independence. Amongst the noted literary movements of this era was the Progressive Writers' Movement which was established in Kolkata during 1936, prior to the Partition of India. The Little Magazine Movement commenced during the 1950's and 1960's in numerous languages including Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Malayalam and Tamil. Two of the significant literary movements in India which were successful to create an everlasting impression upon the natives was the fuelling of the Progressive Writers' Movement and the Little Magazine Movement.

Feminism  is  a  movement  which  advocates  granting  the  same  political,  social,  and  economic  rights  to women as those enjoyed by men. Throughout the world, women have been deprived of their basic socio-legal  rights by a patriarchal order.  Literary movements are,  Romanticism, Transcendentalism,  Realism,  Naturalism, Modernism,     Existentialism, Beat Generation.In Hindi literature  In the 20th century, Hindi literature saw a romantic upsurge. This is known as Chhayavaad (shadowism) and the literary figures belonging to this school are known as Chhayavaadi. Jaishankar Prasad, Suryakant Tripathi 'Nirala', Mahadevi Varma and Sumitranandan Pant, are the four major Chhayavaadi poets.  This period of Neo-romanticism, represents the adolescence of Hindi Poetry. It is marked by beauty of expression and flow of intense emotion. Other important genres of Adhunik Sahitya (Modernism) are: Prayogvad (Experimentalism) of Ajneya and the Tar Saptak poets, also known as Nayi Kavita (New Poetry) and Nayi Kahani (New Story) of Nirmal Verma and others; followed by Pragativad (Progressivism) of Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh and other authors. Rahul Sankrityayan, Bhadant Anand Kausalyayan, Sachchidananda Hirananda Vatsyayan 'Ajneya' and Baba Nagarjun were some of the great Indian writers who dedicated themselves entirely to the Hindi Travel Literature.
