• Mimesis: Imitation of the real world, as by re-creating instances of human actions and events or portraying or objects found in nature. 
• The Indian English novel since Rushdie has pursued " a mimesis of form, where the largeness of the book  allegorizes the largeness of the country it represents." (Amit Chaudhuri) 
• Ellipsis: Omission of parts of a word or sentence 
• There are plenty of Indian writers who have "hoped to suggest India by ellipses rather than by all-inclusiveness".
