The Problem of Being Modern
The Problem of Being Modern: Sometimes novels presented a vision of how things ought to be. Social novelists often created heroes and heroines with ideal qualities, who their readers could admire and imitate, Such as how to be modem without rejecting tradition and hew to accept ideas coming from the West without losing one's identity.
Chandu Menon: Chandu Menon portrayed Indulekha (the heroine in his novel of the same name) and Madhavan (he hero of the novel) as ideal characters. Character like Madhavan was a newly English-educated Nayar man,who joined the Civil Service.
He was a 'first-rate Sanskrit scholar', who dressed in Western clothes. But at the same time, he kept a long tuft of hair, according to the Nayar custom. The heroine Indulekha was a woman of breathtaking beauty, high intellectual abilities, artistic talent and with an education in English and Sanskrit. Indulekha and Madhavan showed readers how Indian and foreign lifestyles could be brought together in an ideal combination .
Pleasures of Reading: The circulation of printed books allowed people to amuse themselves in new ways. Translation from other languages, picture books, popular songs contemporary events, stories in newspaper and magazines, all these offered new forms of entertainment.

Individuals sitting at home or travelling in trains enjoyed them.
