AFRO ASIAN LITERATURE

Afro-Asian Literature mirrors not only the customs and traditions of African and Asian
countries but also their philosophy of life which on the whole are deeply and
predominantly contemplative and hauntingly sweet. Afro-Asian Literature is the reflection
of the storm and the stress of developing nations seeking a place under the sun which every
student must understand so he may know how this literature affects the history and
culture of a nation.
In a simpler thought, Afro-Asian literature refers to the literary output of the various
countries and cultures in Africa and Asia. This includes their oral traditions and from the
first to the contemporary written and/or published prose and poetry.
Asian Literature alone is diverse and vibrant. Add to that the splendor of African Literature,
and you get enriching Afro Asian Literature.

Prose comes from the Latin "prosa" which means "straightforward." Prose can be
written or spoken and has no formal metrical structure. It is basically ordinary language -
the way people speak.
 Prose is a form or technique of language that exhibits a natural flow
of speech and grammatical structure. Novels, textbooks and
newspaper articles are all examples of prose. The word prose is
frequently used in opposition to traditional poetry, which is language
with a regular structure with a common unit of verse based
on metre and/or rhyme. However, as T. S. Eliot noted, while "the
distinction between verse and prose is clear, the distinction
between poetry and prose is obscure";[1] developments in modern
literature, including free verse and prose poetry, have led to the two
techniques indicating two ends on a spectrum of ways to compose
language, as opposed to two discrete options.
