Selecting myth, legend, and folklore as a topic is not a simple task; in order to connect the historical account or mythological reality with the current situation, extensive and thorough study and brainstorming are necessary. Moreover, creating people from gods requires a great deal of effort and commitment. Furthermore, a writer's true skill is shaping the myth that seems to be shared by all of them in accordance with the goal they are attempting to achieve. Mythological literature is frequently associated with historical realities, but with easily verifiable facts not necessarily. Mostly, mythology is used by writers to reclaim history, though sometimes they also question its historicity. Numerous instances of Indian writers using mythology to further their goals as fiction writers may be found in the field of Indian literature in English, whether they are writing in India or another country. This essay examines how certain Indian writers have employed mythology, as well as how different writers have interpreted the same mythical narrative. The article begins with Raja Rajo and continues with Girish Karnad, Shashi Tharoor, and ends with modern writers like Dr. Devdutt, Kalyan Rao, and Kavita Kané.
