Focusing on the representation of childhood within the context of Indian national identity, this work critically analyzes Indian children's literature from 1988 to 2008. It employs postcolonial and feminist frameworks to compare these narratives with those from the UK and North America, highlighting the distinct ideologies and cultural constructs of childhood. By addressing themes of Indian cultural identity and girlhood, it sheds light on an underexplored area in children's literature, providing valuable insights into the evolving landscape of this genre.
