Editing Chhayavad (section)

===Period===
The Chāyāvād period is generally dated between 1918 and 1938, though some critics and scholars propose slight variations for its inception. This period of literary flourishing coincided with the aftermath of [[World War I]], and extended through the interwar years, culminating in the early 1940s as [[World War II]] commenced. Hence, this poetic stream aligns with global trends of [[introspection]], and [[Cultural movement|cultural revival]] in [[Aftermath of World War I|post-war]] societies. The Chāyāvād era also coincided with India's escalating struggle for [[Indian Independence Movement|independence]], intertwining personal emotions with the collective aspirations for cultural identity and an implicit desire for political independence.<ref>Rubin, David (2005), p.17-20</ref>
